what a day!!!
what a day!!!
since today was sunny and not too cold i said why dont i take the car for a spin since it has been a couple months, well in my anxious state i forgot to make sure the hood was locked and this is what happened .
time to look for a hood, windshield and hopefully see if the body shop can fix the roof.
does anyone think that it can be repaired?

How bad does the damage come inside the car? My concerns would be windshield fitment. F-ing shame too, that car is HOT.

Windshield availability is no longer a problem as they're now being manufactured in China. $400 is no bargain though - you should be able to get it for less - mine was about $250 IIRC including shipping. Try searching in here - we've discussed this one before.turboxr4 wrote:http://stores.ebay.com/BARTELSTONE-GLAS ... d=11928163

Hagerty, eh? I asked them about insurance for my car and they didn't want to take me because i use my car in competitive motorsport.

from the 'before' pictures it looks exactly the same.DPDISXR4Ti wrote:
Looks like they used a wider (than stock) gasket. No issue, and it might be helpful in keeping water sealed out, but it looks like they went all the way around the windshield, no? That's going to cause you some fitment issues with the plastic cowling.
