Not just the skin - the whole damn thing. Anyone done it? Been searching and can’t find much. Anyone know of a thread where someone has done it? 

I think @nix240z has done it. Lots of spot welds

@Arne (administrator) had his done years ago. He didn't do it himself, but took it to a shop he had confidence could do it properly. He documented portions of the process and gave good pointers as to "how to".

I'm at work, but if you searched for "Arne and roof" you might get some hits.

Arne might see this and chime in. Hope so!

@ConVerTT is also going to have to go through this process with his low VIN 240... maybe he has a plan on this too?

You guys are talking about the skin, I think he means the whole damned roof, as stated at the start of his post.

Some good ideas here:

No, I meant the entire roof section being cut into the A pillars back to the hatch.

From Hoover Bag:

I missed that. Why does the whole roof need to be done damage, rust?

Arne did the entire roof, to replace the one that had a moon/sun roof installed.

There are several threads--just search "Arne roof"

Usually it is due to the sunroofs being cut in... no one wants a sunroof!

I am going to need to replace a massive sunroof, but I am not planning on cutting the a-pillars.  At @zKars suggestion I am going to cut a patch from a donor roof and epoxy it in.  

A guy in Sweden did it years back.  Posted a bunch of pics and vids but I don’t know if they are still around.  Aside: inspired me to build a jig.  Google “Project Hugo 240z” or “Projekt Hugo” 

 

What happenned to yours?

Here is mine.  (Please ignore the mess made by the PO ...fortunately I have spares)
