Been around for years ......I roof chopped a 2 door MK2 Escort about 25 years ago as 1 had never been done and my mate used it as a daily for a few years :D ......Good ol days :D

I remember the Mk2 very well as the I'm sure my old mate Chris from Wrecclesham, Farnham had it for a while. At the time we were roof chopping his Mk1 Granada 'Beetlecrusher' to take on the run to the sun. I was screaming about at the time in a roof chopped 1600e :shock:

 

Those were the days 8)

 

 

IIRC Chris had a mate up Oxford way with a chopped Volvo 245 with a V8 in it (Worked at TVR I think)

They were the days when people wasn't scared to chop cars up and try something a little different. Trouble is now we are less radicle because of the vehicle cost. Like them or loathe them they wasn't scared of giving it a go!!!! :ykt:

That was Nick and that was actually what is known as a bubble oxford (alot rarer than an a55) which was again hacked off by me and my mate John , Nick usually ended up with what we created after we got fed up with them

We also had a roofless chopped A55 pickup which was Dee's fella's
