    My slick top to big class sunroof conversion. (tons of pics)

    So my first stealth had a big glass sunroof and I loved it. My TT does not. I bought a parts car a while back and saved the roof section. I started the transplant over the weekend.

    Here are some highlights.

    Spend a few days practicing some sheet metal welding. It's quite challenging with a fluxcore welder. I tried to start welding the roof but some of the sections were way too thin after cutting/grinding it burned through too easily. So I made some patches. I think I should be ready for finish welding tomorrow. I also had to add some metal to the back corners where I had to cut a lot off.
