Has anyone had any experience transplanting roof skins?

That's a bit unfair, the 2 door has a visible roof seam on the top of the C-pillars, so I'd say it's equally challenging.
You can look up my build thread for pictures of my swap, it's not very hard, you just need to be carefull.. measure twice, cut once. Or better still, cut with a good safety margin and work your way back from there.
I just welded the roof to the pillar, went surprisingly well. But the original is brazed. Dont forget to put some rubbery sealant back in to keep the roof from vibrating against it's supports.

FABRICA MI DIEM, PVNC!
