you cant weld it as the support struts only go over in certain places so it would warp the roof. and the gutters a quite deep so you cant really fill it full of fiberglass no can you

lead has been the only material that has stood up to the job without cracking. dont ask me why i dont know that much

I pay £400 for full respray in the same colour. Good job too. Willing to colour code parts of the car for an extra £100 because its a much easier job on full respray, still have to be prep'd though.
