roof chopped e30

[kangman]

Guys opinions on this, do you think if it was running smaller wheels with a dish it would work?

Seen this on here quite some time ago - last year, IIRC.

[maggspower]

This has been for sale since man has walked upright.

Make of that what you will

[Duke137]

Needs to be put out of its misery and crushed! I bet its been sat on that driveway for at least 4 years now it will be rotten as well as a crap "modified motor"

[pukar]

there's a reason there is only one of these
there's a reason it's still for sale after about 2 years of trying
at least it puts off others from trying

[walrus1968]

i think its interesting !!.....to go to all that trouble , i like seeing strange E30's like the pickup conversions and the trailers made out of the back of E30's and that !!

[pukar]

yeah, but interesting like white dog p00

[walrus1968]

yeah, but interesting like white dog p00

thats exactly what i meant....the fact that hes gone to all that trouble to do this mod and it really dosnt suit the car. Its not a good mod imho ..

Still looks shite. Definitely best reserved for low-brows.

[mcbonio]

Oh not this blue 318 roof chop monstrosity again... christ its ugly... even uglier than a Baur..! What was he thinking...

[harry_p]

all thje ones i've seen look horrible.

the e30 does have a big glas house though, i bet they'd look great with a very subtle chop, say 10-20mm, but it would be a massive amount of work for something most wouldnt notice and i wont be trying it out on my car

[Minimayhem81]

This was forsale when i was looking for an E30 must be about two years ago? Yeah im suprised no ones bought it.... loooks like quite a weapon to me haha
This is what should have happened to the guy who though of the bright idea!

[HairyScreech]

its been about a lot longer than 2 years, iirc it was for sale when i was looking for my first over 5 years ago.

Chopped e30s just don't work, it screws with the angles and the perspective.

Best way to make it look less "glass-house" is a set of rear headrests and a parcel shelf sun blind

kangman, that is sik design skillzzz

[suchy]

It's even the same advert used aaaaaaaages ago!! Doubt the paintwork has aged gracefully.

[HairyScreech]

or the dodgy welding done to hold the roof on.

[mcbonio]

Its stupid and unnecessary, its like say lets cut the boot off and make it shorter or turn it into a hatch back, NO. It wasn't supposed to be like that and doesn't look good at all.!

pukar me old muker, my e30s already got a factory roof chop

[Ianb]

I saw this ages ago and wondered if removing the body kit ( fibregash ?) and fitting a good drivetrain / wheels etc might turn it into something but there was much chat on here regarding the poor standard of the chop ie alignment / welding etc so i didn't give it another thought. Even if i had been interested it's a few hundred quids worth as a punt that could be weighed in if it went wrong. Fair to say it's been for sale for as long as i can remember so god knows what state it's in now

deffo my fave e30 out there, been around SW for ages, i prefered it when it had the fk 75/50 spring kit on it though, not keen on it being bagged, and i dont like the roof chop. roof chops are for low riders and hot rods IMO, not e30s

looks like its been photoshopped to me u can see a line from the top of the gutterline at the back all the way to the front of the car plus the back window doesnt look right as the bottom part is open the top part looks closed ......plus look at the building even the galvanised sides are not sitting in line ........

[Duke137]

Paul it does say he used paint to do it

The roof chop was done in paint as mentioned above. the e30 is real though

so you do

[mickkeee]

No matter how it's been done the car will be almost uninsurable if the mod is declared, and also should be SVA'd as the bodyshell has been substantially modified. And it looks shite.....Weigh it in!

[e30den]

Pointless POS that needs to be fragged.

[Speedtouch]

"IDEAL ROJECT", according to the ad. IDEAL REJECT, that should read.
