I don't think any car needs an after market sunroof, let alone a classic golf!!   

Going to have a closer look at them both next week

he has 10 mk1 gti's and a caddy sport  8)  :mrgreen:

Lets us know what you go for :wink:

Best thing for an after market sunroof is a big sheet of metal and a welder

10 mk1's ! sounds like he'll have a lot of friends on here.

Well, i had a look at them today, The 1.6 is by far the worst, needs welding to bloth sills, floor, arches, new innner wing, and said that he will strip it for spares  :cry:

So i'm getting the 1.8   :mrgreen:

pics??

can you not chop the roof off the 16 to repair the 18?

Yes ill be cutting the sheet of metal behind the 16's sunroof :y:

i would recamend putting a hole roof on if you can
wen you weld a piece in it warps as it is only thin

i was thinking of spot welding it in on the inside, then fill the gap on the roof, :dontknow:

It's going to need a respray anyway  

risky filla cracks, if your having it painted yuo dnt want it messing up if it cracks

The ONLY way to do it properly is to drill out all the spot welds on replacment roof and then do the same with yours, then spend the time carefully replacing one for the other, any other way it will look like the sea, it will be so rippled

Where about do you find the spot welds :dontknow:
OR is this a silly question ops:
