If you are thinking of welding over/in the roof, then your best bet is too chop the roof panel off of a earlier non-sunroof model and weld that in, rather than rtying to weld in a panel that was designed to be in the car.

I am sure there must be a ton of non-sunroof 86-88 RX-7s in the junk yards down in San Diego. Just go down and ask for the roof section. It would also be much smoother and easier to install than welding in a moving roof.
