sun roof
 
I bought my 260Z because I am addicted to Z cars. The price was right and it was rust FREE, (I live in WA). The problem is that the car has a sun roof; I do not like it, I want it gone. It takes away from the looks of the car. Any ideas?

Take it out, find 2 pieces of respectable metal, some insulation,
Have the top piece welded to the car, install insulation, have bottom piece welded to car. Sand, grind, paint, finish.

maybe.

There are only two true solutions to this task------The first is to find a good donor 260Z in the salvage yard and cut off its roof so you can use its metal to replace your missing metal--------Second option would be to go to a good metal shaping person and have them English wheel the metal to fit your hole in the roof. Than you would need to find a good welding person and body man to finish the merging of the two metals........The reason you only have two true options that I gave you is that the metal will have to have the original curves that the factory had stamped into the roof-----If per se you were to use just a simple piece of flat metal it would buckle and ripple from the air turbulence as you drive--------I would either find yourself a good metal person or a donor roof.....

Good Luck,
