Possible Cure?

I was wondering if any of you guys might have any cures/idea's for a crushed in roof.

A roof that is beyond repair....?

find a wrecked xj with good roof cut it at the pillars/post and weld it on. as long as you are precise with measurements and cut points and a good wlder its not that difficult. only other fix would be convertible

You will need to reinforce the frame to go the convertible route. Plus get a good roll cage, these thing are very heavy if they land on you.

The convertible thing is well documented but I would look for another body to transfer my drivetrain into. Not a fan of the convertible look w/o a full cage and that is way too expensive.
