We looked at one when we did ours but bought a complete 1800carb Coupe (no sunroof) for cheaper.
80 roof would be different, also wouldn't really fancy a fibre roof without a cage, Puglife and I have discussed this into the early hours, and in OHO, the deformability of a fibre roof is too much for the inner structure of the car. Basically, the fibre roof would shatter into 'shards'... With a cage keeping the structure, a kevlar roof would be okay, but fibre is at best questionable in a roll over situation.
