daverclasper Posted October 5, 2022 Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 Is that unevenness your addressing, typical age related distortion, rather than any physical damage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Dave, it seems to have had various dents in the roof, filled etc, and I've also had no option but make up a whole front of roof and weld various rot holes in the roof, the plastic sound deadening under the roof lining keeps condensation under the roof skin on these, they won't be going back in lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooky Posted October 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2022 Finally fitted the upper windscreen roof lip, took some time to weld the ends and grind/polish the roof rail to fit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I might give that a go, but it is acrylic primer so shouldn't absorb water. The data sheet says it's very easy to sand so yeah, dry try first cheers 😎👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
