Just wondering if it is legal to repair or drive a vehicle that had had A pillars bent and repaired? What Im thinking (dodgy I know) is just to straighten The A pillars enough just to get a windscreen in so it is driveable (even if we have to cut a windscreen a bit). The only reason I am thinking this as the vehicle has just had a heap of work put in to it but a its not worth swapping another cab on to it.
The drivers side pillar is straightish but the passenger side has a bit of a bend in the middle from the snorkle pushing in the middle.

Yeah about that, finding one that isnt full of rust is the next problem. I have found one that would be suitable for a roof swap but I think that is too far out of my league.

Don'tt know about legality but iff you repair it straight enough it wouldn't attract any attention anyway. I suppose if it hasn't been written off then there is nothing to answer ???? bbut not sure.
several years ago I had a Fiat coupe that had a dirty big rag top sunroof that leaked like a bastard. Couldn't get a replacement in the same size so easiest thing was to cut the whole roof off and weld a replacement back on. Was done by a panel beater mate so it looked perfect but I'd bet to this day no-one knows or cares.
if you dont know how to do roof pillar repairs get a new cab/body
yeah i know pain in the rear,but if you repair it and its not done properly and its involved in accident your stuffed
a shop would charge you alot more than a coupla hundred,more like a few Gs,so body swap seems your only option,not that difficult
if its not for road use ?,just cut the roof of
just had good look at fotos id pretty much say that body is stuffed,
youd probably find its bend or twisted so just putting roof on wouldnt be good move
