    It can be done, I done a mark ii escort about 2 months ago. Just takes time. It wont sink if its done propper. It has to be seem welded or it will sink. Tried to add photos but it says my files are too big.

    I've been led to believe that it's not sinking that's the problem, it's the hear from the welding distorting the roof skin as it's so thin & crap

    New roof skin,pretty much up to date cost as i got it a 2 mths ago,will have to be back ordered from France so expect a wait,plus as Paddy says fitting & paint on top. Not the cheap option. You could always chop one from a poverty spec or another Williams for less.

    True 16v_paddy they are thin alright but if you weld an inch and then cool it with an airline it will be fine just move to the other side and do a bit. never stay in the one place.
