Default Adding a sunroof to a CRX from CRX Si

I was wondering what would be the best solution. I have a CRX Si Shell that i dont need anymore. Can I cut and weld the piece off the CRX Si? What tools is best to use to cut through the crx metal.

You technicly need to swap more than the roof skin. You should swap all the top crossmembers that the sunroof bolts to as well to retain the rigidity of the shell. Otherwise your roof will cave in VERY easily if it ever gets hit somehow.
