Cool. I know that I will do away with the sunroof. If I am going to do this, I know I only want to do it once!! LOL.
It does scare the shit out of me, but at least I can do it in a workshop. If only I could afford to just give it to someone and say 'fix that'. LOL.

With mine, its a good shell in every way, just the roof and rear arches need doing and the arches were my fault as I took a grinder to them to fit the 17" wheels that I used to have, but didnt repaint. I don't know for a fact that they are buggered, but it is quite likely.

I just want to know that it is possible to do, incase I decide to fit a cage. I don't want to fit a cage to a shell thats terminally fucked.
Gus, I am interested in the Carbon roof too, though I am concerned about it a little also. I haven't put lots of thought into it, but I imagine that if it shattered for any reason, like if you went over, you'd end up with Carbon shards in your head?

Is Twins planning on bonding a Carbon panel over the original roof? Or cutting the roof away and bonding this new panel in its place?
