    68 911s roof replacement help or advice

    I recently bought a 1968 911s whose roof needs to be replaced.
    I am actually shopping for a roof clip or a roof skin but also gathering information and advise on how to proceed.
    Do you recommend changing only the skin or going for a full transplant from the pillars?
    Any reference, previous thread, video link or tips are welcomed

    Thanks

    you should show detailed pictures of what your roof looks like, and any associated damage...

    If you can do just the skin; would be more un detectible. cutting the post's ; people will always know roof has been replaced. You will need a expert metal man that has done this work before.
