Has anyone got or seen a mini with a 6 or greater roof chop?

How low can you actually go before you cant drive it?

Ahh yes andys claustrophobia.

I was thinking more along the lines of a standard bodied mini? Am I right in thinking andys chop was 8?

Is that actually drivable? Does the driver stick his head out the sunroof?

i love the pinstripe paint job that was being planned at one point.

 

seriously crazy chopping there though, back in the days when a rusty old mk1 could be bought for very little, and chopping it up and altering it wouldn't have been frowned upon so badly.

Looks uncomfortable as hell to drive. So their no real seat on it? Look like it is just the floor with a backrest on it

some of the other stuff on the guys site who built it looked like it was really well thought out and quite inspired at for its time.

 

.......some of it looks like the scribblings from Picasso's waste paper basket. its like the cars on there are put together by two completely different people, they go from the sublime to the hideous.

What is most worrying about this chop is that you appear to have to wear sandals and white socks to drive it!

The sock and baby blue sandal combo ruined it for me
