Default Custom focus roadster (j/k replacing roof panel)

Some of you may have seen my thread on the bmw.

Heres a focus im doing thats getting a new roof. A sheet of ice fell off the persons house roof and nailed the car roof. It was creased about 6 inches deep from front to back.








AND the roof is back on

Without that roof the focus would probably flex so much it might very well just fold in half under hard cornering.
