While I do not like the idea of puting a new roof on a brick, I CAN imagine how a great shop could reinforce the posts so that they have original strength or better.

I would have a shop that builds race cars do the structural design and welding.

The rest of the work could be completed by a good body shop.

I would have the body shop strip BOTH cars and save all the parts. Then the structural shop could cut both and weld the good one to your brick. Then it would be back to the body shop for cosmetics and reassembly.
