Interesting… (yes, it is the same car).
1998 Volvo C70 Turbo Black Coupe with manual transmission
DREAMIN either way , you cannot GET those sunroofs anymore for love nor money so its a reskin the turret with top off another car really....
If anyone buys it and needs a sunroof I have one available.

Cool car , all I keep seeing is manual conversion for someone and part it out unfortunately
Edit if only it was in WA at 1.5k
GLWS
Ive got a 2000 C70 manual,
Everything works same car road registered
Sounds dodgy - 'sunroof has been replaced with waterproof marine plywood & Engine size: -1.0 L' ?
Or is that less than 1 litre in size?
There's no substitute for cubic inches... Car's definitely dodgy!

That sunroof job is pure lazy, strip the lining out and fix it properly.
Ive had the sun roof out of mine , its tight and fiddly but very doable.
Theres 2 bars that the sunroof uses to pull inside roof back and forward glued on with aircraft type glue at the factory but exposure to temp changes and applied forces they eventually let go and you just open and close the inside panel manually

The ones I saw wanting new glass had abysmal luck .
These are specific to C70 in size, if an insurer was involved it would be written off on the glass alone no matter if the rest was as new.

When a 6SPD conversion is really what you want but pay 1500 for a 5spd and have a shitboxen on the lawn?
I have a shed ? wouldn't be the first time I've stripped a car in it . Or throw the automatic in it , fix the roof and save it . And have a manual R at the end .
It amazes me that there is not a producer of aftermarket composite or polycarbonate sunroof skins for these.
