Little update
After a good weekend at trax I got a few nice ideas for colours for the corsa

So after closer look at the roof it was to much out of shape to repair so I decided to replace it
Yesterday me and the guys at the garage took the roof off.
Stated off by drilling all the spot welds around the roof the just price the roof from the body



So then today I went to Vauxhall and ordered my new roof skin. It's going to take 5 days as its coming from Germany as there is none in this contry.

When I got home I have a few parts that had come.

My cooler









My strengthening kit



Also my full cage got delivered to the unit. Will take some pictures when i get there

Looks great! Look forward to seeing it all done! One question, did you drill all the way through the panel when removing brackets rather than just drilling spot welds out?
