I thought the sliding roof hatch was going to be easy. It was NOS but stored outside (NOT BY ME!!!) and the weather did its mischief. Oh well. It's going to the sandblaster tomorrow.

What you may notice is that's it's got (now had) a fiber insulation meaning it was originally meant for a staff car HUP. The other change I have to make is to reposition the 'hold open' head banger piece (second pic, top left). HUP sliding hatches went all the way forward but wireless HUW hatches had to stop part way to prevent hitting the roof aerial brackets.
