I've been putting this job off for a while but finally, this year getting to some important maintenance such as dash out, windscreen out, headlining out to be replaced and fixing the usual top of the windscreen rust issue. The biggest hurdle of them all was no doubt the sunroof and I did fear the worse, rightly so it looked far from salvageable.

We can't find a second hand one anywhere, and no doubt they would most likely be quite rusty also. We are having a go at manufacturing our own parts basing it on what we have to go by, we do have a new sunroof seal available so that won't be an issue, will be a few weeks of work but hoping for the best, I'm thinking that if the final result works, I will try and have a mould or 3D print of the item done for the future. We are using steel plates for this process and planning on doing a soda blast & galvanised dipping process once complete.
