strange how things work inthe world really. why i hear you ask. well i had an email from another commer wanderer owner only yesterday, who has exactly the same style van ,even down to the colour almost. and he has exactly the same problem as you , (no roof) its rusted away like yours. i will send a few pics to panky for you all to see.
I previously owned a VW with a Danbury Pop-Top that came and sat in the gutters, the gutters were non-existent where the pop-top sat in the end. Never been keen on Pop-Tops that come too far down in contact with the Gutter.
I have had several looks at the Wanderer roof I have and I still think it is not worth saving TBH and I think a better option will be to.....
....I am not going to share too many secrets, firstly because it will give everyone surprises (I hope) and secondly because I do not want to disappoint everyone if the project stalls or ends for some reason.
As far as the yellow colour goes.... hehehehehehe.
The pictures do not do the rot justice. The rear vertical seam that is painted with the black rust killer has holes you can fit a screwdriver through down quite a bit of it.

Apart from more primer on the van, its looks identical, I think (hope) I have less rot in the cab roof area. If only I had Woolfy on the case......
If woolfy does get a hold of this you will have a step by step guide on the repairs you need to do as the pics apear on here

I managed to cut some rot out today, all the pictures are at my photobucket account (I will put a permanent link in my signature after)
Gutter removed and ready for fixing, glad I have a pneaumatic chisel for my compressor.
Had a chat with Martin Maltas and I think we have come up with a solution regarding the roof
I have noticed that there is a small amount of grinder spatter on the windscreen, so I am going to remove all glass except the rear side windows (for strength) and look at getting the windscreen polished up and all chips removed. There are companies like Glasweld that sort out your windscreen, so I might give them a try.
Unless anyone has a mint windscreen for sale?
