Hi all 🙂 Thought i should share some pics on my ongoing resto of my 81 Cutlass..
Started yesterday by grinding down a hell of a lot of bondo & fiberglass on the roof of my car, to se if the suunroof still was there :shock: And yes it was 🙂 and it was rustfree to :mrgreen: So next step is to get it out an shange the seal around and se if something is missing, and get it to work as it was when the car was new 🙂

I found some minor rust where there once was vinylroof, but not as bad as i thougt.. Puhh..

so if enyone know where i can get the seal to the sunroof, pleas let me know 🙂

Moore pics will come as i progress on the resto. When the fall comes the car wil be pulled apart an all rust and dings will be removed. the frame will be blasted an repainted..
