Anyone else ever have to carry out repairs to a mk1 sunroof without replacing the roof skin?

 

thats some car you have there any more progress?

 

Just re-fitting as much interior parts except sound deadening, carpets, seats then building up the doors, fitted the exhaust......really waiting for it to get wired. My brother is a very good auto electrician so he is doing the work, he's just busy at the moment. Will be worth it cos his work is really good, it has to be! Other than that is just a matter of fitting the little things and admiring my work so far!!

 

fair play to you, just had a look at your web page there, some work gone in to that

 

Great work Billy,
Had you any trouble fitting the de-badged grill. I got one but, it wont fit straight on. needs a few mods. it seams to have a slightly different curve. lights etc are in the correct places. If you are welding the sunroof gutters etc, remember the heat travels and will melt the vinyl.

Pat.

 

Yea the de badged grill I got was bad fit. Got it off volkswarenhaus. It was not curved at all to match front panel and had plastic catches that did not line up with anything. Mounting holes were not great either. I got it to fit though all the same but not sure if I will be keeping it in the long run. Was only 30 euro so not too annoyed about poor fit.

 

got mine in the same place. I still have it in the wrapping, I recon they are for cabs. I like the look. now I know they will fit, I might give it a go.

Thanks.

I wasn't really following this but there is some hard graft going on here. Welding and repair work to the body is spot on. Sunroof repairs look great too. Keep up the hard work.

Thanks Trevor.

 

looks the business, great colour. just wondering why you would put a modified grill on it?

 

I needed a grill so just ended up getting that one. Wasn't sure if it would match the look of the rest of the car. If I could get my hands on a genuine vw grill, I'd put it on. So if anyone has one...with chrome..
