I'm particularly interested in the sunroof mate...my Saff's one is going the same way.

Where was the majority of the grot?  On the sunroof mechanism or on the shell?  Was it a pig to remove?

I can sympathyse with you all there as i remember it well... driving along on a nice sunny afternoon, opening the sunroof to let some air in and suddenly being showered with rust!  Head v Brick Wall

Needless to say the car came off the road that winter for a whole lot of body work!

Dont think i'll be having that problem with the focus  Tongue

Shame it back like it again...................the tell tale bubbles on the roof.............  Head v Brick Wall

right well i went to the salvage yard this morning at 8.30 to beat the heat and rape a mk4 escort i had heard they had got in. it was untouched so plenty to be taken! got a near perfect complete sunroof (as mine did a vanshing trick! ha!) it just had a few rust spots on the runners, glass ect perfect! i also ppicked up a mint set of dash clocks, so my rev counter actually works now! got some better condition interior handles and a few other bits n bobs. Pics below.


NEW SUNROOF






WHAT WAS LEFT OF THE OLD ONE!


DASH CLOCKS




OTHER BITS, TAILGATE SEAL, HAZARD LIGHT CAP, HANDLES
