It came to me with a flat glass aftermarket tilt sun roof which flattened the original roof.
I had to cut the hole even larger to get the roof 'dome' back to some curve and then fitted a Webasto fabric folding roof from an MGB GT but shortened to suit the 911 roof length.
The new (then) liner was installed and cut to suit the new frame.
This was when an old 911 was worth around £3000. The car was destined to be a road/hillclimb car which it was for 13 great years.
Today things are different and the sunroof insert is a bit tatty round the cut rear corners, so might be looking this winter to remove the sunroof and close the steel roof hole, new liner and all done.
There are 2 ways I think to do this;
1
Glue on a glass/carbon cap that goes from the screen to screen to side to side, repaint to the drip rails etc and do the lining. The cap joints on the A and C posts will show.
2
Find a steel roof from the right car and remove the skin from the car and the donor roof and get crimping and welding, paint and new liner.
I'm not new to these things, so confident I can do either.
A third way is to have a new cover professionally fitted! This is surprisingly expensive to get done.
Any thoughts?
