A bit of both, the sunroof mechanism has gone, but most of the original structure remains as I've only got a half cage.

Thats fantastic, I'm considering the same, funny enough found this page on Google when searching after seeing it on the PT Website, how was the fitting part of it?

Looks good, that's the way I'd probably go if it needed much doing to the roof.

Fitting was pretty easy really, I just ground back all the rusty bits, flatted the paint on the roof, removed the sunroof mechanism and bonded the new skin on :)

i think you can only remove if you have a cage to keep the rigidity of the car, could be wrong…
