hi guys after a couple of years of pondering this idea i decided to bite the bullet and do it
i fiberglassed a commodore one before but that was easy so here is the write up for this mod

step 1 find someone who will let you chop the roof of thier datsun (thanks hyflo)



step 2 fill the roof cut with expanda foam





step 3 carve and sand the foam untill you get the desired shape



step 4 glue aluminium foil to foam use 4 of 5 layers overlaping as this will help breaking it out of the mould



step 5 lay choped strand mat over foil



step 6 soak the matting with laminating resin and wait 4 the magic to happen
depending on how much hardener you use you may be able to remove from the mould in 2 or 3 hours i trim the edges at this stage and leave it in the mould overnight

step 7 using wedges and compressed air remove the item from the mould


step 8 sand the new fiberglass roof smooth it will need more sanding to paint than it will to trim in leather

very nice work mate, I may be in need of a new hood lining soon...

Am I missing something here? what is the point in making a fiberglass roof lining? just curious?

1.it fits like a modern car roof lining /hoodlining the windows dont need to be taken out to fit this
2. anyone can fit this easily without getting wrinkles or sagging
3. it could be painted to match the car bodywork or airbrushed
4. it gives about 1 inch extra headroom

and secured by glueing to the roof? looks pretty awesome

no no gluing to the roof its very light the sunvisor screws and pinchweld hold it in like a new commodore

any thoughts or suggetions on covering it im torn between painting it or covering it in one big piece of the original style dotted vinyl?
i am also thinking of a 7"tv or a commodore sunglass compartment

i think white roof lining looks great, perhaps try a nice vinyl, depends on the look of the rest of the car but shiny finish could be good

Love the work boots in the first pic!
Roof lining looks awesome, are multiple of these going to be produced? If so how much??
Great work!

ive popped 2 out so far.A fair fiew hours goes into making them i will know a price when ive trimmed it and got postage quotes pm me if your keen for my spare
