that's interesting to know you can replace sunroof chassy, people keep telling me to blank it off- stuff that!
anyhoo, took skirts off tonight- sills are sound, arches tomorrow night! doors and boot etc are in dry store, and managed to get the loom out after much labelling, unplugging and twisting and gently pulling

feeling better about everything today, formulated several plans of attack and now looking forward to getting the rest of the kit and the rear bumper off, see whats behind them, then get it over the pit, axle stands and completely strip the underside ready for fresh stone chip and underseal- im thinking white...
anyway, I got some up close pictures so people can see the affected areas that ill be attacking!

oh and cross member and front panel turned up today, just about to order fuse box repair tray.
anyone know where I could get replacement sunroof chassy???
