...of course the car still has a bit of rust to contend with but nothing too serious...
....and the footwell seems to have been submerged in water at some point!
.....
....hoping this looks worse than it is, the outside certainly appears solid with plenty of shiny metal......but of course we won't know for sure until the car is blasted......
I appreciate this thread won't get interesting until Barry starts grafting on sexy flares and I buy some juicy parts so will keep posts to minimum until then
Cheers,

You will get the shape once you cut away the sunroof cartridge, it's incredibly flexible. You'll be able to template from one of your other cars.

That's interesting Jon, the sunroof cars seem to have a flatter roof to my eye with more of a curve to the front of the non-sunroof cars which I thought would have been governed by the a-posts. Ultimately I'll make a template and seek Barry's advice to determine if I can live with any varience.
Will be a shame to cut the roof off with such perfect gutter lines but then even if I do Barry will make them perfect again anyway.
