Roof damage... Possible solution? - 4/29/2008 12:24:30 PM

I have a 91 Eclipse GS and I have significant damage to the roof. I could take the time to work it out, but I know that it would never look the same. I have a parts car and I took the roof interior out to get a good look at the roof assembly. I think it's possible, but I'm wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to remove the windshield and hatch and then cut the weld points and weld the 'new' roof onto my car. I realize that this could compromize the structural integrity of the car, but I really would like to have a nice roof on my car. I was thinking that maybe it would be a good idea to make stabilizer bars or a full roll cage for my car if I do swap the roofs. Any ideas? Thanks.

Well just to let you knw if a car has any sort of damage to the a pillars(pillars between body and roof) they will damage the car out. And I recommend not doing that, because if you crash your car ure pretty much fu**ed. I say just try and hammer it out,but if you hammer it too much all ull do is thin out the metal and itl be way too thin. So yeah its not looking good for you doing the work yourself
