Cheers Ash,I think I need as much support as possible at this stage !!
Next step is to take one perfectly good rust free leak free roof and cut a f****** great hole in it ...........

Next is to fab up and weld in side supports.

 

[dubscum]

i bet that was a horrible feeling cutting the roof. it will be well worth it tho
