Hi All

I'm happy to announce that I'm just about complete on restoring my sunroof panel. There is still a bit of cleaning up and finishing to do to get it spiffy.

Wednesday evening this week we had all the relative parts adhiesves and apparatuses to assemble

Apologize for the bad quality pics but I will get some nice clear shots once finally sorted.

Wednesday evening pics.


01. Clamped up and setting

Myself and 2 other gentleman assisted me and we had 15min to get everything on and in position. Wasn't easy but we managed

After leaving the workshop on the way home, the brain realized that something wasn't right but it wasn't a super major and there was nothing that could be done anyway.

Fault No 1

I realized that we put the clamps on the wrong way around.

Fault No 2

The panel was supposed to be left upside down in a better setting position

We could've got a very close to 100% but instead I think we achieved a 93-95% result. Anyway Hopefully it will work with the Mech and will still look good.

I had left the panel for 1 day and a half to set and removed the clamps yesterday afternoon with the following results

As said earlier, a clean up and some small issues to deal with but Its almost there. I will also give the under side frame a last lick of paint just to finish it off nicely
