Looking good.

Are you planning t o replace the roof or fill the hole somehow?

i haven't made up my mind on that one yet. having looked at past posts on the forum re-skinning it looks the best. quite a challenge though! and a trip to the wrecker. what would be a rough estimate of cost for a roof?

what's the paint code on the VIN plates?

If its original black its one of only 4 black RS2000's (2 2dr, 2 4dr) made in Australia!

Might explain the dog tags.

the paint code is ey426

re skin it buddy. unless ya can tig weld then it may be easier to just weld the hole up. using a mig will probably warp the roof alot.

actually just reskin it.

Due to popular request I have added images in this topic in the body shell section

good job mate as long as it does its job cant go wrong.

Great work!

That design looks familiar [:x)]

We found that rolling the car to work on a parallel surface at a sensible height was worth the hassle of making the jig. I still have some small spots on the floor to do where some aftermarket seats were fitted [:(!] but I can get to it from the inside easy enough.

Best of luck and keep the pics coming.

how do you get the car up high enough to getit on the spit ???? block and tackle ??
