Hi
Thats a hell off a job you looking at there, it could be filled in with a steel sheet and then a lot of filler used to cover up the joins, but it will always be a risk that the shape of the roof will not look quite right. Also you risk distorting the original roof during the welding process. That said, changing a roof is not a simple thing either !
Are you going to race the car ? as a welded panel may not meet regs, or is it an asthetics issue ? You have not mentioned if its a glass pop up, or webasto or sliding steel roof. Obviously you will also need to budget for a new headlining as well.
