Short and sweet.

I would stay steel!

We can't Dan the hole in the roof is not straight and very rough. If only at the time we had paid more attention before it was painted I would have put a new steel roof on. Scott wants a Carbon roof so that's his choice.

Ah I see! Maybe it is a good option then to save welding again near that 3k paint!

[sonikk4]

That would be an understatement Dan, that would be taking a massive step backwards. A lesson learnt I feel and there was no way a template was used to cut the sunroof hole. I need the Tardis to go back in time 18 months.

Just read through from start to finish over about a week. Really epic, the work you've done is to such a high standard. I can't believe how you've been let down by the paint. Inspired me to paint my own. Even if I do (will) screw it up a few times. On to read project paddy now, I'm sure I'll get even more inspiration.

any updates?

any updates?

Scott is waiting for the roof to arrive then we shall go from there. He's also trying to accumulate some extra cash to start on some other bits for him.

Read the whole of this from the start and I must say you have done some cracking work should be proud of yourself just think what it will be like when it's finished

Picked up Erm's new roof from minispeed today along with a big panel order for Paddy.

Erm's roof before

and what it will look like when the other roof is fitted


Its not bad and will need some work but i'm sure it will look good when done.

Very nice !!!

[Mini_Matt]

That looks smart

[brum,brum,mike]

very nice indeed!

what work needs to be done to it?

[sonikk4]

Its got a very small imperfection in the gel coat i'm hoping will flat back and then there's the packaging marks that will need to be mopped out and buffed up.

[brum,brum,mike]

It's about time we all had a progress report

[sonikk4]

Mike not had the time to work on Erm as have been really busy on The Red One. We are hoping to do the roof soon but Scott needs to save some more cash for other bits for him.
