The sun arrived here in the UK but without any joy. Again the roof popped like it had last time. I couldn't take it any more, the idea behind the composite roof was to keep things light and simple but I could not deal with the odd effect the sun had on the roof.
This time I commissioned someone to make me a full aluminium roof skin and it's amazing, I am so pleased with how it came out and how much lighter than the GRP roof.
GRP roof off
Aluminium roof ready to go on
Inside the roof skin in place, showing all the planish and TIG welding
Roof being bonded on and held with duct tape to keep it held while the panel bonding cures
Really pleased with how it all is looking at the moment
