I'd talk to a good body man about welding a large "patch panel" to permanently close the home-made sunroof. Then you'd have to replace the inside overhead console somehow next (and its wiring). From what I've heard, cutting the complete roof off these cars to make a convertible, weakens the structural supports at the pillar. The frame has to then be reinforced somehow before it will support the now removable hardtop. Plus, you then have a removable hardtop that weighs a ton and is difficult to remove without a wench or hoist. I'd forget the convertible idea and just patch up the sunroof. Anybody else got any other ideas here?
