Default dents on roof

ok, so i'm looking at getting this 91 SI for cheap, but it has two rather large dents in the roof, right above the windshield. I was wondering, if i got the rex, how i would get these dents out. Would i be able to remove the inside trim, and just pound then out as best i can, then get out the bondo?
thanks

EDIT: also, all SIs have sun roofs, right?

Well the proper way to fix it is to strip the top of paint. Then the body guy pops the dents out from inside. Then he gets a torch and heats up the area, and then uses ice to cool it quickly. This causes the metal to pop back straight. Expensive work.
