['Chop']

Evening all

 

How's everyone doing?

 

Just a quick question for all you mini nuts out there. I'm building a roofchop min and posted on the Somerset Rusteez fb page if someone could measure a standard screen and aperture so I can make a template for my screen.......

 

Anyhow, got a reply from a chap also in the South West who has a 'chopped mini and we got to thinking how many are there out there? We're talking home chopped cars NOT minisprints, Stewart & Ardens etc - just homegrown cars.

 

He says he knows of 8 in the UK (including our 2) Surely there MUST be more out there....

 

How about compiling a little album of likely candidates on this forum page, so we can compare our handiwork?....

 

Just to get the ball rolling, here's 'Chop'.......

Not a fan then, I see

Never mind, each to their own eh?

Another from down in the deepest darkest West Country......

 

Do we have total monopoly on chops?

 

Maybe it's the cider and cream teas that does something to our minds
