Graham S Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 errrrrm dude, I think you may have a few problems there... How exactly are you gonna change a roof and if you had one cut and fitted would you really think its gonna be as strong as before, being as the roof is the main structure of the car.. Got any pics of your car and how bad is the roof? Know of someone who had this kind of issue, and the insurance would have written the car off but had a bloke pull it and made a perfect job, can give you his number if you wanna try?

francis Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Bloody hell, how did the bonnet do that? Had you made any modifications to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest youjaydee Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 no mods. done over 1000 miles since I last opened the bonnet so i'm not sure how this happened. Don't recommend it - scared the c**p out of me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henk Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Jesus, m8! What the hell! What do the catches look like? Any idea how it happened at all? I think that would scare the bejesus out of me too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukeyboy2k Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Crikey! At least with the Supra you can still see where you are going (approx. 1 foot gap) when the bonnet is raised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest youjaydee Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 guess I was very lucky as the windscreen didn't smash and (luckily for others on the road) the bonnet didn't fly off ... and I didn't completely lose it. Still had to drive about half mile to hard shoulder peering out the gap and without rear mirror. Had 3 inspections and one catch looks like it might have been faulty .. so please check yours!

Jezz Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Loads of roofs in stock, and we can have them cut to your exact spec. No Uk bonnets at the mo though. I've sold a few pillar chops over the years, probably the easiest panel repair you can do on the Supra. As long as its braced up properly it should be fine structure wise.
