So, My Roof Is Screwed

[Dorigecko]

So, my roof is gay. But see, rather than slam out the dents and make it beautiful which i cannot do very easily without it costing me arms, legs, genital bits etc, i was thinking:

Panoramic sunroof, lockable, black, cloth or plastic, with bolt-in half cage.

How can I acheive? Where can I get a sunroof of this nature custom made? Is it even a good idea? Has anyones roof ever esploded before?

[Nic_A31]

Prestige Sunroofs in Myaree maybe ?

I dont think they do custom work though...they only install specific sunroofs.

What do you mean by panoramic?

That is bound to cost you just as much anyway.

Whats the damage on the roof anyway? Panel it out, cant cost too much, and get a modern sunroof installed.

[Dorigecko]

panoramic as in a big f**k-off cloth or vinyl roof on runners, takes up the entire roof.

it's either one or the other hey. fact is, i think it'd be awesome... and one can only assume it has never been done before.

metal is stretched, and i honestly can't be f**ked if it's gonna be thin metal for the rest of its life hey.

i might give em a call. maybe they can match something up.

would it require a permit though?

[Nic_A31]

Nah, sunroofs are all good, even if theyre non-factory options, DPI dont care.

Sounds cool. How does the roof lining roll up? Would need a fairly big roll at the back to roll it wouldnt you?

Ever seen a thing called Skyview ?

Comes in the late model Maxima's in the US.

Consider?

Ask TAKUSHI if you can vulture his roof? I think its all still intact, but its not a sunroof model.

IF you can find an intact sunroof, its easy, just swap out the panels, instlal the extra wiring loom and fit those drain pipes in A and C pillars, could be done in a day easily.

If you want some help with doing that kind of shit, lemme know, always keen to help out, especially on Ceffies.

sweet. i reckon it'd roll up accordion-like and hang at the back of the roof.

i'm talking take out the entire roof sheet section and replace it if i do this. it will be awesome... have a bar down the middle to keep it together.

man, i doubt you'd wanna sting it out to the country to cut sick on my ceffy, haha

not to drop names but i got it from kermit the f**king awesomest dude ever.

thanks for the help man!

you understand what i'm wanting to do though hey?

[Nic_A31]

I was looking at buying that Ceffy once!! Awesome hey, some good quality work went into that one.

Northam isnt country, dont talk yourself up

And yeah, I get what you mean. Think even 300X Targa Top would be easier than a whole roof, still it'd be cool if you did it, go pillarless at the same time - awesome breeze.

[Dorigecko]

Man, if tractors fill up at caltex, it's a f**king country town!!

pillarless? what am i a subaru? (that's not fair on the 910 bluebird).

I don't have air-con. Gentlemen drift with air-con. Lol.

I didn't even test drive before i bought. my arse didn't fit in the bride he had. champ chucked a gt-r seat in when i bought. best thing i ever did was buy it, you missed out!

Anyways, yes. will call prestige in morning see what they can offer. cheers!

if you can't do the roof thingy tou wanna do , then it isn't all that difficult to weld in a new roof . I had heaps of people try and tell me that it was dodgy to weld in a new roof untill i asked them how the roof was put there in the first place... (note i haven't touched my roof yet , but i will if i ever find a roof with a sunroof (or rear cut or whatever) cheap enough)
