Roof chop.....

Post by corsamadlad »

As some of u know im doing a project.
Smoothin Corsa rightout and now im thinking of makin something different and doing roof chop. Prob by 3".
Its easy cut the roof of.
BUT im not sure how to re-align the pillars, front screen post and obv the rear.
As their angled comin down 3" with roof the angles will change as the bottom is wide than the top.
Dont want cut yet till know it will work any 1 seen any corsa's chopped b4

wud look good but it will be a poo load of work, all new glass, doors altered, boot altered, lining up all the pillars etc. and most people wudnt be able to tell the difference unless its parked next to a standard corsa.
OFFICAL DVLA DATA:
1414 - corsa gsi's on the road in 2008.
735 - corsa gsi's currently on the road and 436 SORN
Basicly you would have to be a right tw*t to break one for parts :rant:

Thanks to everyone for an awsome weekend at pvs!

I think im going leave it not bothered about all the work involved and got company my old ork used to use to do the glass but its the angles of the pillars thats my main worry.
So going keep it as it is the roof and just ultra smooth the body
