If it's a soft dash, then I could be interested in the instrument bezel and the front speaker covers. That is if they are still in one piece.

I'll check if it's still there. I have little interest at $800 though. The motor will be heavily worn, no doubt it's stopped as the transfer case has locked up and trashed the driveline. An automatic with 300+km on it holds little interest. The air system is gone and replaced with springs. it's a short wheel base hard dash.
Like I said, at $800 there is no value there at all ( unless there is something there you desperately need). I think the interior plastics were average (so not great). The tan coloured leather seats were still very nice in it though.
If anyone is keen, I'll check it's still there, there is no way I'd pay more than a couple of hundred for it though

Just needed a 25 torx and half an hour. Don't know what I was worried about.
Yours may be a different sunroof but in the classics i believe there were two types, a steel covered sunroof and the glass. Mine is the glass and I think this would be the easier to replace of the two, if not the whole range of never-should-have-been-allowed Euro sunrooves.

G'day Samat,
Well I had some success but not with tracking down a replacement. I ended up making my own frame for the sunroof using the existing brackets.
So I got some galvanised 1mm sheet and got a sheet metal shop to run a swage around the middle of my drawn out frame for a bit of rigidity and somewhere for the Sika to go. I then cut out the frame I needed from the sheet and sat it in the roof to line up the brackets. Tech screwed the brackets in place before welding and removing the screws. Then I bonded the glass to frame, put on the old seal (as the new one didn't fit right) and bolted it back in place. Then I Sikaflex'd the roof SHUT. I hate sunroofs anyway. I'm in Cairns so the last thing you want is the sun beating down on your sweed.
Is anyone able to confirm this? Even if just the glass/bonded frame is a direct replacement.Quote:

Sorry to hijack this thread, but is the p38 glass sunroof the same as all 90s classics? (Specifically 1991-1992)Quote:

From memory, all parts were identical. I think the P38 glass had a perforated layer (to diffuse bright sunlight I suppose) but essentially everything was interchangeable.Quote:
