No, thats a convertable.

A roof chop is a totally different thing.

I've not seen it in all the time i've been mincing with corsas, im still waiting for it to happen.

HAs anyone ever shopped a picture of it done? Would it look ok. With Beetles, looks ouber cool, but with a corsa, I reckon it could work.

Basically, take the car, chop the roof off, cut all the pillers out, make new pillers that are much shorter.

The whole roof is then x cm/inches lower than what it was previously. All windows need to be cut down.

Its a lot of work, and a lot of money, unless you can do it yourself.

Roof chop..

Because its fun. I'd like to see it done, but I aint doing it

no, but theres a diffrence from making a normal car a bit faster, and taking a normal shopping car, removing the roof, lowering the allready week b pillers etc, and welding them back on, not to mention the screen, side widows, and how exactley you would make the boot work

all the cars you see it on, you never see a hatch back done
