Hi all.

Mate of mine is doing a light resto on a Ford 6600 Q cab, and is in need of a new roof, as there’s some significant damage to one of the rear corners, and light damage elsewhere.
I think he’d like both the top and the bottom panels, but he thinks the top would go again if needed, but the bottom panel is the most desperate bit.

Wondered if anyone on here has one for sale or knows of one for sale, or has any ideas for places he could inquire about one?

Worst case scenario is another damaged one and make a good one out of two halves, but that’s a fair job....

Any help or advice is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any replies.(y)

Is it REALLY beyond glass fibre and isopon

That was what he asked me about, did I know anyone who could fix it.
I suppose I’d have a stab at it with him if needed, but I’ve not got much time.....
And anything’s repairable, but it is missing a fair chunk from the corner, it would mean conjuring the corner up from scratch. Which was why I wondered if a replacement was available?....

Yes akward repairs can take a bit of time, impossible jobs maybe a bit longer
I'm very much an amature, this I repaired recently, ok it wasn't that bad, and was easier than I expected

I recently bought a Q cab roof off a local breaker, bought it over the phone, and got the wife to pick it up for me as she was working not far from the breakers. Bit of a mistake ! I was told that it was in good condition except for a few holes where a beacon had been attached. To be fair it wasn't bad, but had a lot more than a couple of holes for a beacon, and there was impact damage to one corner, but the wife wasn't sure whether it was like that when she picked it up or not, anyway the gutter all the way around is near perfect, so with a bit of time it will come good. But in the mean time I came across another in near perfect condition for half the price, just needed cleaning as it was covered in lichen. Unfortunately I will need to paint it as I rubbed some of the paint off trying to get the lichen off.
There's quite a few for sale on eBay and Facebook, but most have a lot of damage around the gutter area which would be difficult to fix properly, and people are asking whey too much for them in the condition thst there in !
