I wish to fit a sunroof (this is just speculative mind you) to the gen 1. If done it will be the only rusty,red,smelly TP to have one and since i am still trying to convince my mates that, no, i didnt buy a grandpa car. I have the sunroof, the car, and a fabricator for a brother.

How difficult would this project be?

I was under the impression all cars with sunroofs have stronger roofs around them and stronger pillars to make up for the lost rigidity.

It sounds like you'll have a bit of work on your hands. You'll probably find you'll have a lot of trouble with the seals and rust too, if OEM sunroofs leak then chances are a custom one will too unfortunately.

factory sun roofs usaly have water channles running from roof through a and b pillar aftermarket cause rust and normily leak

It gonna get taken to the free car removals after my brother takes out the wolf 3d computer and the injectors. If you live in victoria we can probably give it to you instead.

Thats what it looks like. Minus the wheels of course. They have the same offset as my gen 1 so they were stolen by some bastard in the middle of the night and now its sitting on cinder blocks. That bastard also put them on my car!
