Nice one Paul 😎

Here you can see the battered roof ...which is upsetting....as no mention of the damage was mentioned by the seller when asked

That car looks perfect just how it is, just needs glass and a motor

Welcome back Steve. So you've gone and done it, I know you were looking at a Led Sled project like that, that's certainly got the lines for it. A roof chop must be on the cards? I too love a Led Sled and that's gonna be a cracker.

Nice one Steve

Andrew showed me those pics on Faceache a few days ago

I agree with you on the roof tho, it looks sleek enough as-is and would a massive job to modify it

I'd like to see what Dunc's mates at Ass Monkey Garage could make of this if they got their hands on it

Cheers Guys
few more pictures....

Roof condition is a little upsetting as the seller never mentioned a thing about the myriad of dents from inside and out, even after I repeatedly ask about overall condition of the car ...Bananarama!

Its 60+ years old,
still overall its pretty straight and solid 8
my car stock and with a Jeff Photo chop/ dumped

how do i print screen
and the work involved for those 2 or 3 inches, had a chance to buy this grey 49...but owner stopped at this point due to finding someone who COULD do it Properly, and also expense

Ya know with the roof like that , you might have to skin the dam thing,but then you might as well chop it since you are in that far

I'm with Drew. With the work involved in sorting the tin in the roof you may as well chop it.

AllKiller · Post by **AllKiller** » Fri Jan 16, 15 4:41 pm

Nope..

Roof will be cut out and re roll a new skin....work involved is monumental.
Pics coming for those with a massive bottomless wallet and strong stomach

Yes seen that Adrian
Heres whats involved, ££££££££ metalwork involved.
