Replacing dented roof
Hi everyone,
How would one go about replacing a dented roof thats beyond ordinary paintless repair, on a GC8 WRX? Has anyone purchased a roof skin before, and if so, how much was it?? Any recommendations of who could do it? I would imagine the work would be a bit more difficult than your ordinary panel replacement, so the panel beater would have to be fairly competent. Thanks p.s. It's not my car. |

pop out front and rear windscreens, drill out original spot welds along the door jams and cut pillars where needed.
I would definately recommend a competent and reputable panel shop for this sort of work, ie dont go to Hi - Lite smash and then complain that it all turned to shit. |

That is definitely enough to put anyone else off of doing it I reckon.

I know Steve had a roof panel with a sunroof built in at MMS for a GC8 a couple of years ago, might still have it, not really that big a job as Subaru were kind enough to put seams down either side of the GC roof so no pillars to cut into or bog work, much cheaper than doing a GD.
