Any one ever changed a roof before??

as above really has any one change a roof,
does any one know where the joins are?

Someone else may be able to help more, but I've changed the roof on a datsun and the joins were right at the top, which is apparently common on most cars. What I would do, is find a donor and sand the tops of the pillars back to bare metal to find the joins. You can cut them at this point and do the same on the other car. You can't get it too wrong because you are only change the roof skin, not the roof itself.

In saying that. Unless you have experience with this sort of thing I wouldn't even go near it. Cut the roof off the donor low down on the pillars and take the lot and your car to a good panel beater and they should be able to do the work for around the 200 pound mark I would think.

'Bout right.
