Hey dman  nice to see your in the land of the living it's been a while,  how's your car coming along .
Yes I'm over the moon with the new quarter Windows and the way it looks now , as for the roof I just cut the metal roof off a spare Peugeot I have and positioned it to where I was happy and welded it in and the fibreglassed over it. Etc, as the whether is getting better over here now I will get her our more and defo do a vid and post it cheers Jd .

Well im finally starting mine next month... Looking for donors now..

Have you got some pics of the roof process!!? I would like to follow your method on that also as it looks so good!!

[dman1409]

Hi guys , well I made a start on fitting my new quarter Windows this morning ,after marking where I needed to cut, it took about 10 mins before I could bring myself to cut into my shiny paint , but soon got over it once I made the first cut lol, anyway here's a few pics she's coming along nicely, jd

I noticed you have the window rubber on the roof. did you use that as a reference for the new roof line?

Cheers

Hi dman ,looking forward to seeing some pics of your build ?,
As for the roof line it was really dictated by the new quarter glass ,as this had to line up with the edge of the door glass which Inturn created the line where the new roof trim had to sit , hope that makes sense lol ,  sorry didn't take any pics of roof as I was flat out on it getting it ready for the show ,cheers Jd

Pictures are coming soon! I found a good 1997 donor, all of a sudden the guy did not want to sell his car no more!! That was very dissapointing... 1997's are hard to find here... Any younger one will require a heavy inspection when the project is done.... The netherlands and their rules... Pfffff big head ache!

Next monday i am going to pick up an engine.... 90.000 km on it... So that is one step ahead...

Will post some pictures soon mate!

It was great to see it in the flesh at the show. As nice as the pic is, it certainly does not do it justice.

Hey jd!

Luckaly in got the chance of buying some f430 rear glass of 4u2nv and a oem windshield at eurospares.. So i thought: " i might as well ask one of my best mates to join me for a road trip to the uk !" And ofcourse he said yes! So ill spend an entire weekend in the uk.. Just for the heck of it! I want to take this opportunity to visit some builders to check out their projects and learn some more stuff before i start my build... Can i come over to you and check out your build?

Cheers!
