I need someone to replace the roof on my 91 Civic Si in Miami FL.
I have the new roof and the car is completely stripped down, need to remove rusted roof skin and install the good one.
I dont have the tools/skills to do this.
Thanks in advance.

 

why do you need it replaced? dents?

a good friend is a painless dent removal guy, and i've seen him return a roof with 200+ hail dings to perfect.

 

its really dented + has rust

 

jb weld that ish on

seriously, find a good bodyshop, not a fabricator to do the work.

 

I just might buy a bucket of JB weld and do it.
My car was at a body shop, they just want wayyy too much to do it.

no they want what it costs to do it right. and you obviously have the wrong attitude considering youre talking about using jb weld...do you know whats involved in changing a roof skin in a unibody car? or any car for that matter? you cant just cut the old one out and throw some spot welds in there somewhere and put window weld around everything. you have to weld braces to the a,b, and c pillars to prevent the body from flexing. take it to a body shop before you ruin your car please.

 

relax dude, the jb weld idea was a joke.
I want to do it right, that's why Im looking for someone with the right skills.
To start with most body shops will not do it, and the ones that Ive talked to that are wiling to do it want 1k + to do it. For that I can just get a new shell, Im not trying to do a half-*** job, Im just looking for someone with the right skilld that is willing to help me and that I can pay him without having to sell a kidney.

 

you are misinformed there...changing the roofskin on an EF is like changing a doorskin, the roof panel itself has NO structural value. wherever you got that info is wrong. you just remove the panel and install the new one. the end. all the structure is in the pillars. you obviously have not done this before.

OP, did you check that link i posted?

-M@

 

This is exactly correct. That is why I can sell carbon fiber roof replacement with little problems. Most of the strenght is in the pillars not the roof

 

ANd if the care is caged up you really have nothing to worry about.

 

he got the info from the guy who told him that and charged him if he had done all that

 

Anywayz I loved how you posted it like you were 100% certain lol Poker face
