Forget about welding a roof skin, it’ll need serious filler afterwards no matter how carefully you weld it. And fillers in the roof is very hard to do so that it’s undetectable. It’ll be much easier to replace the roof skin. I’d imagine you’ll pick one up in a breakers for very little money, get the whole roof, i.e. cut it off at the pillars, then it’s just a matter of drilling the spot welds and prising off the skin.
