fixing a roof is no biggie...just compromises its integrity.

better pics are needed.

Do you mean that every panel on the car is somehow damaged by that? Can you take better pics in the light? I (and I assume other's too) can't really tell how bad the whole thing is.

Think it can be done right for $3-4,000?

For that price you could find a nice shell and swap all of your stuff in to it. That's what I would do, save for the fact you are emotionally attached to the car. As far as fixing the car, it's possible. A friend repaired a rolled over Subaru that was in worse shape than that.

I really have no idea. I would start talking to friends asking around about anyone who knows anyone who does good work or could hook you up with a discount

Anything can be repaired. Just depends how well you want it done and how much you are willing to pay

[wolf1971]

just found a link to a guy in ireland that did just that. It looks like ECS actually has the panel in stock, even though Real OEM lists it as NLA. Oh this is going to be a bitch.

I dont think he rolled it... I think a tree fell on the car.

i suppose that does make sense..

i am lucky enough to live in Los Angeles where wind and heavy trees are not a common mix...

i like the rolled story better,,,

Fixable. Personally I would cut the roof off from the bottom of the pillars and put a new one on from a junk yard.

[wolf1971]

Two very large oak trees and straight line winds, but I think the "I rolled this bitch" story sounds better. If it weren't for the fact that it has been family owned since new, and pretty well maintained, I would never consider fixing it. But since I know all of the history, I just can't bring myself to part it.

Anybody got a rust free roof the want to get rid of?

[OrangeFiero]

how in the hell did u do that!!

from the cars history... i would pay to fix it...

and then tell your son "i rolled this son of a bitch into a tree when you were three"

I asked the wrong question- can this be fixed? I'm not going to part it out.
