Bora pick up(sold)

I know it's not a mk4 golf but still the same breed!
Didn't break the Audi A8 4.2 v8 in the end, to good to strip just for the engine so now I've got a bora v5 with a knackered crank but still drives so whilst I'm hunting for the engine I'm going to chop the top off and make it into a pick up, hopefully I'll keep everyone updated on the progress to help future builds
All marked out with a piece of string, good eye sight and best of all a trustee sharpie pen

That line you've marked, will that be cut line? How about cutting the qrtr and trunk above that and treat that as a bend line to follow the top edge of the door skin. Form the extra metal over as a lip?

I'm probably being really dumb but I'm confused about what you mean?
Do you mean cut boot and quarters higher to give me the extra metal to start the top flat area that will become the sides?

Yes mate. Fold that extra metal over to follow to the edge of the door skin. I'm sure that'll give you a better finish than trying to weld and create that top lip

Same with the roof
Leave some extra metal to fold down and create top edge of rear panel/rear window.

The build has started! I hope this crap weather keeps up as misses allows me in the garage!
Perfectly positioned and cut would to stop chassis sagging
Small section of roof chopped to make easy access to remove rear panels
