Hi bud , There not that hard to ft but being a large panel can be a little daunting and u will need another pair of hands . Trim wise you'll need the screens out or tailgate . and a good quailty panel adhesive to fit the new skin on . Oh and a lot of masking tape unless u plan on painting your roof rail's again any way

A MK3 Fiesta mate, it'll more likely be fiberglass, but we'll see what funds allow.

Would have thought you need a cage though as will lose a lot of strength when you remove the roof, fibreglass won't be anywhere near as strong
