we didnt prep the middle of the roof as we were going to cut a hole in it and that always was the plan

project sunroof is'nt doing very well it taken parcel force 10 day to 48 hour the sunroof to us , so its not going to be ready for the riviera run :sad: but as it wont stop raining in cornwall a tin top may be better

its booked in on thursday next week for the tin opener and then all we have to do is get it rolling roaded as it only does about 20 mpg and its a 1000 :tongue:

I have got the new bumpers on and found some more rust under the back bumper lip :saywhat:

sarah will have it on the riviera run so look out for it and say hi :cheese:

Shame!!

But you'll get it done by the summer and (hopefully) hot weather :grin:

I know it spoils the look - but I'm glad I had my sunroof put into my black roof - i used to swelter in the hot weather on long runs......now get a cool breeze......and dazzled by the sun. :grin:

Are you still doing this as I have just bought the donor mini it came from? :grin:

[Bungle]

yep the man with the tin opener is coming on thursday

[Boab]

but we found a wabasto sun roof on ebay and bought that ( cheap solution ) , then found we could not find any one in cornwall to fit it :sad: . We did find a helpfull guy who said that if we found a newer one he did have the templates to fit thouse .

Do you still have the original manual sunroof as above, if so how much for it so I can fill in this big gapping hole in this mini I have bought :grin:

[Bungle]

well the man with the tin opener came to day and fitted the roof , i had the day off work to help/get in the way .

took about 7 hours to cut the hole fit the roof and refit the head lining as its a electric one we droped some wires down the A pillar and connected the wiring out through the open window under the bonnet to the fuse box so that we could test it .

all i now have to do is mount the switch somewhere and wire it all in.

so almost there now :grin:

[Brawlyrox]

all done? when do we get to see it?

[Bungle]

if we get round to geting it rolling roaded so that it does more than 20 mpg we will take it to bristol :grin:

[Boab]

Show us some pics please :grin:

[centralminiTC]

...of Sarahs car please Bungle!! As you never brought it to Bristol.....

[Bungle]

yes thats because we still havent got it rolling roaded and we would of had to stop for fuel 10 times

here are some pics







havent got any with the hole in the top yet its cornwall and wont stop raining

ps i still havent wired the roof in so the only way to open the roof is to open the door and bonnet find the lose wires under the dash and touch tham on a live feed in the fuse box and the other to earth :grin:
