rite then people,have been up the garage and removed the sunroof with the help of dave(cheers again m8).
the result was this:







those pics were as soon as we lifted the sunroof out.it was a bit of a bastard,one of the screws was proper rusted on,we wd'd it,hit it with a hammer a few times and even tried anti rut gel on it but in the end we had to drill it off.
this is how my roof stands.


this bit is at the front of the car by the edge of the sunroof.


left back side of the roof


the middle of the roof


the right hand side of the roof

i was pretty gutted to see this as the rest of the car is 90% mint,after a bit of thinking etc ive decided im going to anti rust and anti rust primer as much of the roof as i can to try and hold it back,possibly cut the 2nd layer of the roof out so can stop the rust sreading underneath the roof as its really bad (is this legal)?and maybe have a panel welded over the sunroof?as i dont want one anymore as its the reason my roofs fucked.this is only a temporary plan until i can afford the carbon fibre roof which is £510,does anyone know how its fitted and if it requires a roll cage as i want the back seats?
this is what my sunroof looked like







rusty piece of shit lol




the runners for the sunroof.
im glad its out and its also a bit fucked now,some of it snapped when removing it lol but im glad it did

overall the shell is in pretty good condition as it was all waxoyled underneath and in the arches etc,theres 2 or 3 small plates i need welding in the floorpan and the wheel well done in the boot,will get pics of the holes soon.
theres a fair bit of surface rust but am gonna take the angle grinder to that,remove the windows etc and anti-rust and anti rust primer the whole inside of the shell and paint it grey.


the holes


a bit in the back of the boot


under the back seats


the other side


the passenger side.


thers been a plate welded here in the past.needs anti rusting etc and sorting out.


want to sort this bit out as its been fillered in the past and looks a bit rough.

as it stands it looks like its been caught just in time,6 months later and it could have been a lot worse,at least its all fixable lol.

heres a random pic of my m8 dave



its such a shame about the rust because i think it looks pretty mint on the outside.



ok peeps well will update soon,mite try get the windows etc out tommorow and the dash,if i can find somewhere to put it lol am running out of space in the garage.
