G. it is cut down by 100mm think it cost £80 to get it cut over the cost of a new screen i have no use for it and if no one takes it soon it will end up broken .

I chopped a moggy a few years back, it was easy enough. I did have the help of an experienced moggy roof chopper Richie King to help me.
After it was done I didn't like it, looked nice but felt cramped and claustrophobic. The hardest part was fitting the roof lining.

Mate if you come and get it you can have it
i would rather see it used in some thing than get shunted around my garage
for an other year and end up smashed .
so F.O.C to the first one that comes and picks it up .

If anyone wants a 29 step guide on chopping a Minor I have got a scanned article from an old Custom Car I can post up or even e-mail.<br>

Factory bodywork
Sectioned bodywork (and some other custom touches - grille - shaved handles - frenched headlamps - custom rear lights- radiused rear wheel arches)- but the car remains pretty much recogniseable...even if much sleeker looking!
Now that is perfect !
An ugly car made beautiful
Love it

I'd beg to differ - a beutiful car made different, imo. I *think* I prefer the before, but both are good

Yeah, both beautiful, I think the original just has the edge. BUT on the other hand some cars need kustomising. 49 - 50 Mercury, ugly as hell when standard but make some of the most beautiful kustoms.
