Do I think this is worth fixing properly? Nope. I'd use this project car to practice skills you want to learn. Once you're happy with your new skill set, I'd move the car on to the next owner. However if you think it is worth fixing, there is only one scenario I can think of that it makes sense.... I don't know this platform so I can only guess, lets assume the roof attaches like this - Where the red lines are, that is the frame/body of the car. When the car was manufactured, we'll assume they spot welded it to those points on the body. If this is the case, you could drill out the spot welds, then weld on a replacement roof. It is reasonable to assume that with enough practice, you could spot weld the roof back on. If the roof doesn't attach like this, say its all one piece... your back to the original plan of a cut and paste job. I wouldn't attempt it. Only you can answer that one. We already know what the previous owner thought lol. You'll have to decide how important it is to you. -

Ok. Ok... Last question... Do you think it's worth fixing this again properly at a later date if I work on my welding skills? Maybe the entire roof? Or is that just nuts for anybody?
