To Be honest,

I reckon that's repairable. Roof may be warped a bit but the rest looks ok still.

If only I had the time ?????

I reckon it could be repaired, still has paint on the bulk of the rear quarters so it cant have gotten that hot, I am in the same boat - way too time poor ........

I've got a roof if anybody takes it on just saying

Me too- got one sitting here. I reckon its the sunvisor that is making it look like the roof is bent. I don't think the roof is too bad looking at the photos.

I've only got a panel van roof and a sedan roof. You guys are making me feel inadequate.

Dont feel inadequate. That's one and a half more good roof cuts than me.

Had dome time today so I finished of the fiddly corner bit of the drivers floor and started welding the passenger sill bottom up. Just tacked it every 6" at this stage. Interested in opinions as to whether to fully weld or leave as is.

That would be plenty I would think , are they about 100mm apart ? A mate of mine has a spot welder, they are perfect for doing stuff like that

[FbSTDwagon]

Can it be finished with spot weld?

Certainly fully welding it would be the strongest.

[Errol62]

Blacky fyi 6" = 152.4mm, so no. I will plug weld where I used the two screws as well. Should be more than strong enough. Outer sills are mainly cosmetic after all.

Drew I've heard stitch welding can actu a lot be st r on her than a full weld, but then I'm thinking more about sealing things up. B it t h an I suppose I will blow them full of cavity wax any hoo.

I welded around both sides of the drain holes and spot welded the rest.

[Errol62]

Thanks Greg yes prolly a good idea to weld around drain holes.

Van stuff in the ute post?
I always forget to pre -drill the floor weld spot holes on the outer sill and forgot again the other day. I will remember for the drivers side.
