Red face Tree + Jeep = Project

Woke up this morning to the crash of my 2000 Cherokee Sport being crushed by a large branch. Stupid branch completely caved in the front of the roof and windshield. I've driven this thing for nearly 7 years and I'm not ready to let go just yet. She's mechanically sound and definitely not ready for the junk yard... she just needs a little creativity. Wondering if anyone has any ideas? Post photos to better illustrate your ideas if you can!

Most likely totaled, but you can probably chop the roof and weld in another one? A lot of work and dedication though.

Sorry. That is a real shame, it looks exactly like mine without the crushed top. If the frame not bent or bent to bad the roof can be replaced. I've help'd do a few 60s moostangs in the past, so I know it can b done. Vinyl tops, were a bad idea.

I like it. You'd have to chop everything from the doors up i feel like though. Haha I like your making the best of the situation! Kind of makes me wish a tree would fall on my jeep so I could chop it up.... Well maybe not.
