White phase 1, now with added truck turbo and massive head gasket failure

[ozonehostile]

Quick rummage around at work has produced a huge sheet of 12mm thick Lexan (the stuff they use for toughened glass on forestry equipment and stuff like that) I reckon this will be a good replacement for the heavy glass sunroof and sliding mechanism, il get a template made of the original then send the plastic to be machined with a flange around the edge so that i can bond it into the roof. Aswel as saving a fair few kg's this should also restore rigidity to the roof so that its not that far off been the same as a non sunroof shell.
glad I had this stuff at work that I can have for free as a quick internet search later I found out that lexan is £2400 for a sheet!!!
