Welding roof to sides

Well, I don't know if there is a name for this whole wraparound piece but I am considering the possibilities of taking two and making one good one if anyone has had experience at this:
I have a white 1991 EE2 with 2 sunroofs and the roof doesn't make buckling noises like the other one from BC does -- both sunroofs are manual and don't leak so I considered keeping them but not the lower rusted half. Eventually if I get around to it, I would want to take the upper half of my 91 plus the rear left door, powertrain (cleaned, painted, all new gaskets and other wearable parts of course), and have a good body shop fuse/fit the top onto the bottom half from my blue 88 EE2 from BC. All three EE2's have rust so original paint is not a factor although I had considered keeping the top white and 2tone it if anyone has cool ideas. All lower sections, rockers, and floor will need a lot of fabrication work and I had considered more robust solutions for the weather we get if anyone has any good ideas (too much humidity plus 5-10 feet snow), possibly marine paint, rust proofing of course.

The buckling noise you mention can be easily remedied by rebonding the roof skin to the roof bows. Just remove the headliner, clean and scuff the roof and bows, and glue 'er up. I'm not sure that there's a how-to for that, but check out my wife's thread(pebbles' resto-thread), it's in there somewhere.
It would be far easier to cut holes in the roof and transfer the sunroofs than to graft the roof sections, too.
