I saw a brown FB at a wrecker but the wierd thing was it had the interior in it but there was no sunroof.All the FB's I saw around here have sunroofs and that headliner was a stocker with some little cuts in spots and scratches on it.Was there any full roof FB's?

All first gens in Australia had a solid roof with the exception of the series 3 (84-85) which had the wind up removable sunroof.

As far as I knew before was that the series 1's had no sunroof.Now I see either a S2 or S3 and not too sure what to think about it now. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

That was one of the main differences between a s2 and s3 was the sunroof. I have both types and they are almost identical apart from the oil cooler on the engine, the radio, the 13" mags, the interior fabric and of course the sunroof.

I just have the 2, an 81(s1) and an 84(s3). The 81 was/is a parts car, but I'll be able to still drive it once I've taken the necessary parts for my s3. Thats why I bought it, cause it was cheaper than a s3, yet was almost identical. The s2 will either be sold off to a friend for his own project, or I'll use it as a daily driver. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Oh yeah,That white one.I forgot about that one.I remember noticing those sweet aussie front lights.https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png I need to hurry up and get another FB to turbo soon.I'll look in the paper tonight and see if theres any around here for sale right now to look at buying.I have 2months off work and now is the time to do it.I work 6 days a week normally. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png

Yeah, I know that feeling. Right now I have 2/3 jobs (2 are the same job, just at different schools) and I'm working a 6 day week. My plan is to complete my s3 by the end of May (around my bday), spend the next 4-5 months driving it, then in October joins my mates in a backpacking in Europe style holiday till January next year, where I'll come back and get a proper full-time job or maybe start my own company. Meanwhile my friends will stay in Europe for a year working and travelling. We plan to spend new years in Amsterdam. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Series 1 (SA) were available with a sunroof or not. It was a different type than the FB (series 2 & 3), having only one front mounting tab and a different opening mechanism.



FBs were also available with or without sunroof, but for the North American market about 9 in 10 cars sold had the 2 tab wind-up sunroof. In Canada, the GSL-SE came with both the glass and metal roofs as standard equipment.
