Wow I wasn't expecting such a response. I've been off working for a couple of days and see an interesting debate and some great opinions. I really do appreciate your thoughts and the time it's taken to write them up.
My original post may have been misleading regarding the WB. It is just a shell (no chassis, guards, bonnet, interior or dash etc). Next to no rust and pretty darn straight. It was too good to pass up even though at the time I knew sweet FA about the differences is the bodies between models. So the WB could be used as donor panels if need be.
I will rummage up some photos of the Sandman and see if I can load them here. The car is in storage so I can't pop out and take photos but I do have a few general ones.
A lot of the work I do is for a chain of body shops in Melbourne and I mentioned to a couple of the panel guys about the windows and sunroof. They reckon the sunroof repair would be no problem because of the curve of the roof. They say they would spot weld a piece from a donor. The windows they wouldn't touch with a welder of any sort. They are using a lot of the 2 pack adhesives on body panels now and say that would be the way to go.
Anyway I'll have a go at these photos.
