Yes on the drivers side the roof skin even wrapped a bit around the roll cage if there was no roll cage I don't think it would of been worth salvaging this

Well my motivation was to have a car that was 650 horsepower but I only have 1/3 of what these cars sell for invested in it.
I understand your motivation completely.
Well done, sir. Well done, indeed.

Great story, thanks for posting, enjoyed the pics and details. I've been in a related business for over 40 years, I understand totally your motivation and drive, also your pleasure with the reward.

Cant tell, did you put roll bar back in. Some side shots out in the daylight would be nice.

You sir should be grinning from ear to ear! can't wait to hear how it drives. You should also let the poor guy who rolled it see it now, as im sure he would love to see it reborn.

Nice work. I wouldn't let the previous owner get to you= his *** is sore and will probably want to see the car eventually.
