waiting dilligently for pics..

where did you source the windscreen frame ???

Very nice fabbing skilz..

**MK1_F00L** · 02-22-2007 07:50 AM

i found the windshield frame from a local shop, just have to say i was very lucky finding a lot of the parts.

**raystaggs** · 02-22-2007 08:02 AM

Wow – this build thread is great.
Can you tell me a bit more about the sun roof?
What car did it come out of?
Did you swap the roof mech onto a scirocco roof - or was that from thr donor car too?
Does it have a modified roofline now – it still looks pretty stock looking!

Cheers,

Ryan

the roof is from a late 90's early 00 Nissan altima and i had a whole doner roof. the roof was bonded on with all the Nissan bracing i do have to say it turned out very well and was still able to keep the scirocco roof line.

i know it was a crazy idea but i just could not stand the aftermarket roof the other owner put in, so i had to fix it

Cheers Damian, I understand exactly what you say about the luck !!!

"i know it was a crazy idea but i just could not stand the aftermarket roof the other owner put in, so i had to fix it"

No - on the contrary - it was a great idea!
My storm has a glass aftermarket roof and I hate it!

Well done for getting off your butt and remedying the problem!

It looks a great fit.
I guess the roofline is pretty flat in the section you took out, so that helped.
I'll look forward to seeing the finished product.

well i think its about time i added a few more photo's, too bad the most of the work is getting covered up...

just trying to get the rear end all sorted out, once that is done i will be able to get the car ready to put on a rotisserie that i was just recently able sorce. i just cant wait for the weather to get a little warmer so i will not have to worry about running out of gas for my heater...

didnt turn out too bad, could have made my life easyer but i know better for tthe drivers side now...

Did you fab that arch from scratch? Or did you cut it out of a donor?

Nice work!

**MK1_F00L** · 03-05-2007 07:19 AM

that arch is actually a replacement panel that i had found...

got lucky, finding a lot of the parts

**Falcor** · 03-05-2007 07:22 AM

Rear arches can be bought as replacement parts over here in Europe... shouldn't be to expensive to ship over if anyone needs a pair.

**Rays-Rocco** · 03-06-2007 05:31 AM

Nice work!

What welder are you using?

**MK1_F00L** · 03-06-2007 07:55 AM

**spoonie** · 03-06-2007 08:59 AM

need more progress pics, damian!

so, will it be THIS year?

**MK1_F00L** · 03-06-2007 08:22 PM

i think it will be this year, just need it to be a little bit warmer. now that i have more time to work on the car it has to be so damn cold

**Rays-Rocco** · 03-07-2007 04:33 AM

This thread should be an inspiration for anyone who is thinking about sending a Mk1 to the crusher. Great work!

Inspiration or a reminder to find a mint shell

either way, it was just something that had to be done, and will look mint when it is done, and have every option i think a scirocco should have. just you guys wait there is a whole list of crazy things i want to have done to the car this is just the start.

spoonie i think i need a camera man, with me being the only one doing the work lots of the process is hidden by the final product...

**MK1_F00L** · 03-11-2007 08:37 PM

did some more fab work today, think everything is all sorted out for the rear panel to be welded on. but i have to wait a couple of weeks for the warmer weather so i can por 15 the underside of the floors because the factory under coating just does not look purdy

the good thing is its warming up and i did not need the heater today

Hooray progress! I need to get started soon. It's warming up and the garage is begging to be finished (cleaning).

How much heat do them worms generate? Using Night Crawlers?
