Cheers all for comments, im just a common bricklayer so all metal work is down to pete and his skills! Here are a few more pics of the rear of roof and remember there is simmler ammounts of work to do on both sides! The car is part roadster at the moment, i will show pics of the front soon. How are you getting on with yours brian?
many years ago Pete did a Mazda rx7 for me which made it in to Custom Car magazine, the bodywork and paint were stunning. His work is second to none.Originally Posted by jsf55

That's very very good metal work.
Real craftsmanship, great piece of work
very tidy work. well done
As you can see by early pics in my build thread the front of roof was also very poor. The panel above screen was cut out (which also needed a small repair) to make it easier to get at roof. No they are not worms trying to eat there way into car, just filler! Then it was time for pete to perform more of his magic. Lots of hamering and welding up of little holes has left it looking lke this. Still not finished but looking a lot more like a roof should look. Last pic shows part of roof on floor. I was told not to panic when i went to see car without roof!
There is a lot of good work going into that. Who is doing the metalwork for you please?

Hi everyone! i have been messaged by someone about progress on coupe so here is a recent pic. It has taken up so much time I nearly gave up, every panel needed work, the doors were bad and needed extensive work, I must have hundreds of pics of every part of build. However I think we have now turned a corner and at last its looking like a car again with nil rust and nil filler inc lead! ok there is still a way to go. there is almost nothing left that has not been changed, even the roof as it has been unchopped around 20mm,I know that sounds mad but the new screen dident fit so as the roof was off at the time it seemed easier to lift roof a little!. Looking forward to 2017, who knows, maybee we will se it out again!!
Now that's starting to look the part, well done for keeping at it. One more 5 window for the club !!!.
Brings back a lot of memories / sleepless nights seeing your pics. Great metal work going on there, every piece of it a fiddle and a headache LOL.. but will be worth it. Glad to hear that you are persevering with it and resigned to the fact that its not an overnight process.. makes it all the more special when you get out in it again.
Thats looking great ...I really can appreciate how much work it's taken to get it that stage
