Unsure whether to have a go at plating stuff at home myself, or just take it to somewhere.... what does the plating treatment cost in that posh gold zinc stuff?
Absolutely mate, when I was shopping for her Mk2 Clio everyone I looked at with a sunroof was immediately dismissed!Aren't sunroof's a royal PITA
Far from it, it might be a long way off but it will see the road againI am Dave, Destroyer of vehicles!
i think you should send the skin for a mold and get a carbon copy made.......
Good work mate . Does not look to bad to weld back on either plenty of metal if you plug weld it back on and you can get at the welds to flat them down . If you need a hand placing it back on I not to far away. Did one on a 21 savanna , took 6 of us to land it on it was 18 months old some one used it as the path on the way home from the pub
You know it's funny you should say that, literally right before I logged on here just now I was on the phone to someone that offered to make the mould....
@Mark_L has kindly offered to assist in refitting, but if you want to join in my garage is big enough for everyone haha! I'm going to weld up where I have over-drilled the spots a bit, clean it all up smooth, get some weld through primer on the go and then Mark is bringing his spot welder to reattach it (unless the carbon skin idea takes root anyway LOL, we will see on that.
Also, he planted the seed in my head of having the cage done while the roof is off. Lots easier apparently. So now I am assessing options and sequencing of: Roof Skin/Carbon Skin refit / Roll cage / Blasting & Bodywork repair.
I wish i was considerably richer than I am, it would solve so many issues!
Well, he wants to make one for his and is talking material cost only, so it'd be rude not to let him make a mould at least, right?Don't think you can complain about your pennies when you're talking carbon roof skins!
