Blimey! Not checked in here for a while, wasn't expecting to see it had become a two door!
Fantastic work, looking really, really good! Will pay more attention in future...!

don't panic the roof chop is not as drastic as it sounds its all about window fitment . both fron and rear screen rubbers are shot so to keep with the modern meets old theme I decided to do away with the old and frankly ugly screen rubbers and use more modern ways of fitting the glass only to do that either the windows need to be bigger or the holes they go in need to be smaller 40mm smaller to be exact  . so I decided making the hole smaller would be a lot cheaper than getting new front and rear screens made on looking over the car to work out what was going to be done I also found that by taking the 40 mm section out of the roof height it could also get rid of an awkward looking line the roof has at the fron making the look smoother as the front of the roof has a sort of bulbous look to it in stock form . also gave me a chance to address the rot in bottom of the screen pillars as they would need cutting and moving   the screen is now racked back by a few degrees and the window frame has now been shrunk down and the front edge of the roof stretched and lowered by 40mm which has smoothed out the the hump at the front of the roof and cleaned up the lines . hope to get the rest of the window frame finished today  |

That's sneaky, even parked next to a stock version you'd be hard pressed to figure out exactly what had been done (I'm imagining the end result here, based on your previous work).

Awesome idea! Subtle chop and flush-fitted glass will be excellent!

. so I decided making the hole smaller would be a lot cheaper than getting new front and rear screens made
