Post-Rollover Repair, Accepting All Guidence and Input

I would just put 4 new doors on it (or at least the ones that really need to be replaced) and pound out the roof the best you can. You will end up putting a ton of money into it otherwise and honestly, given your situation (homeless), you got bigger priorities. If it still runs good and drives fine, the roof being dented in is really no big deal as long as it doesn't leak.

Good luck

I think the big reason why i can't just pound the back up and be fine with it looking ugly is that there is a SUNROOF on it. It's smashed out and i dont know how easy it would be to get the roof good enough to to have the glass retract all the way back, and to get another one installed in a dented roof w/o leaks

Being homeless isnt that big of a deal, i have enough friends and am apartment sitting for the next month. i just need the car waterproof to sleep in.

Going to some more junk yards and body shops today...

Borrow a hydraulic ram and push the roof back into place. Just use a large pad (to spread pressure) top and bottom. Again, I think most of us are looking at a fix not a rebuilt as new vehicle because it would just not be worth the expense. Slap some plexi glass in place, caulk the heck out of it and your golden. The limited in the pic had the sun roof glass starred but still in place from the first roll over. I covered it with a few tubes of residential 30yr caulking. It was still in place after the second roll over! Not one leak ever. The plexi glass will still allow light in.
