Default roof damage

My sonflipped his 97 civic ex, which was in purefect mechanically and body prior. Can a complete roof be replace by putting on a used one from a juncker? If I cut post is it better to cut high near the roof or loer down to the body. the two upront post are also bent in. What part can I do myself befor I take to a body shope. Have you ever heard of a skin roof being used? Is this more costly/ Most roof damage is from front of roof to just behind the sunroof. Thanks, Anysuggestion on this plan or do you have any better ideals.

Default RE: roof damage

can you get some pics up? is it scrapes or like crushed. If i had to guess, crushed because im pretty sure taht the hondas have the hollow roofs because of the sunroof retracting. If it is that case, depending on damage, you might be able to take it to get it bondo'ed and painted. If you have to put a new roof on, it might be cheaper to get a new car after all the expenses
