had a closer look............although the lid slides back and forth ok, the winder does not work (broken cables?).

some rust (see pic), i'm sure it's only in the outer edge and not throughout the "slide cavity" but repairable i would say if it's a sunroof that you desire🤓 it looks as if some dope has siliconed the drain holes in each corner causing water to sit instead of drain the way the factory designed it😠.... i think the only way this could work would be to cut the "sunroof" sub frame out and perhaps the area immediately around the opening to transfer onto your existing roof..............maybe someone with some skills (Allan, Peter?) could better offer advice.......for sure the purchase price is minimal compared to install $$

anyways it's here and would be happy to have people look it over at Valla, but i won't be getting it out of the shed, so you would have to contact me and i will take you for a look.

nah, it was definately an early beetle the roof came from........

yeah oval plans, buy one of the many good ones for sale at the moment........mine would be good for the poms, we wouldn't bother 🤓 ......sitting on semi auto pan tho, now that's useful!

wow talk about an optical illusion 🤪
i guess its hard to gauge when the rest of the bodies missing but it looked like it had the pillar angle and upper curve of an Lbug windscreen
