There's a hole where everything was!  ;D
My sandblaster mate had a look today, its going to be fully blasted and 2 pack epoxy primed for the best result.
Will get the car to him this thursday as he wants to do it on a sunny day, blast and prime it right away.
Will drop the front susp also to make things easier for him plus it makes for a better finished product.

I kinda like it. Mind you cutting a huge hole in the roof can't be great. RAs look good though

I think keeping the tin is the safest option... you have the Spider for open top fun ;)

Agreed - RAs looks good on it.
