I cleaned and test fitted my Safari Snorkel on the gaurd tonight, and to my surprise, the main body of the snorkel is actually undamaged, it has not deformed at all, it has a small compression type groove where the sharp edge of the inner gaurd sqeezed it from behind (where you cant see), and the snorkel head has deformed slightly off square by about 4mm.
I filled the snorkel up with water to check for hidden leaks, and its 100% water tight, remember the weight of the car has been on this snokel twice, and even though every panel next to it on the car has been crumpled in the roll/s, the snorkel is still totally fine, and would still have protected the engine should i have needed to drive through some deep water to get home.
mmmm, wonder if Safari could make me some gaurds and a roof out of snorkel plastic
I got the old roof off on saturday, unpicking all the factory seams/welds took me hours, but it all came off nice and clean, certainly looks different with a "moon roof"
Yesterday i fitted the new front reinforcement beam, this allowed me to confirm the side beams/pillars are in the right spot.
Hope to test fit the new roof skin by this weekend.

only just read this thread then... woooooo. as everyone else has said glad everyone was ok and that everyone helped where they could. congrats on getting it back together so quickly.
Thanks Steve!
That roof shot is presumably a similar structure to the GQ, and is food for thought when thinking about rust prevention, and rust repairs etc.
Outstanding work on your part, as usual!

Fit a soft top!!!
Nah the rollover seriously sucks man. Have been in a rollover before. However in Vanuatu seatbeats are not required, so I had dad fall on top of me. It hurt.
Good luck with the rebuild, seems to be coming along nicely.
Cheers!
GO HARD OR GO HOME!!!
