sgtjackass Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Hi After getting sick of the constant drip in the rain emitting from the rear of my hood lining I thought id take a look. Basically I saw the drain pipes were all wonky so gave one a little push to get it back on the grommet from the sunroof drain assembly. It fell apart, the entire rear of the 'tub' is rusted to bits. Now... its been repaired shonkly in the past by way of replacement of glass with a perspex panel with wood supporting 'bars' surrounded by what appears to be black silicon . Whilst procrastinating at uni ive decided I want to take the car off the road and fix all the issues in one sweep. I was thinking id cut away the tub and weld a panel over but i think that roof warp would be inevitable with my average welding skills. It appears that the 'tub' part is held on with spot welds and glue. My plan is to remove this area (by drilling out welds and scraping off glue) and replace the panel with a flush carbon fibre panel (i build boats so have the material and skills). My question is: is there any legal issues I have to deal with here? Cheers for any help you can shine on this topic and any suggestions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crownin_Round Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Panel legit as, I think... but to avoid warpage tack on some bars or long peices of box section that run the length of the roof from front to back, or as long as the roof "line" allows and that'l keep it straight when youre buzzn the panel in there!

Beaver Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 if hes using carbon fibre i doubt there will be much 'buzzn' going on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubblegoose Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 do a tack every 6 inches around the panel then let it cool off completely then go around again takes fucking forever but stops the roof forming a hollow or make a panel to sit in, and 2pac glue the cunt in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
