DIY Cabriolet Chop ??

Jul 30, 2005 2 Replies

Anyone ever done their own cabriolet from a 1993 - 316 2 door saloon?? Any websites known ?



Cheers, m4ckk


Why would you? There are plenty of factory cabs out there from around that time. Plus a factory convertible, in addition to having the roof removed has reinforcement of the frame under the car to make up for the loss of rigidity provided by that roof.

All-in-all, a project without much upside and a lot of expense. Now if you wanted to chop a 4 door, that might be a bit more interesting...

In both cases the likely result is that the doors would not open / close.
