just a quick one, what would be the legal standing on say removing the complete roof, and screen from a r5?
would it need a screen to be legal, aerial atom doesn't
also, how would you go about bracing it?

Areil atom was designed without a roof or screen, R5 wasn't.....
screen needs to be a car in order for it to be on the road a convirtable would be you limit
a roll cage would do it and a helmetat worst a wind deflector like the caterham r500's
wind deflector sounds cool, obviously a helmet would be in order too, with visor
just think it'd be a cool project to make a 'speedster'
I would always want a roll loop at the very least as I would want my head to be squashed if I accidentally rolled it

Why would you want your head squashedOriginally Posted by c7borg

a sva or whatever they call it now , would have to be taken, and you would need proof that the work/modfication has been carried out by a competent person
which kind of leaves you mr B by the road side pi##ing in the wind
lol... mistypeWhy would you want your head squashed
Have you had yours SVA'd?
nospoke to dvla about it , got the all clear
did'nt seem to bothered about the engine being swapped from the front to the back
according to vosa/dvla only modifications that alter the body from its original shape /size
ie making a 2 door car to a 4 door car,
cutting and extending body floor pan, or changing the shape /structure etc etc
pretty sure cutting of a car roof is going to come under that also
I wanted to make a GTT pick up, I even did drawings to work out what it would look like
Ahh that's cool.. got me worried for a secondno

went through the mot ok on that side of things, as the car was the same as as a normal 5 but with a subframe /suppension turrets welded in the back
did you have to do yours Andy?
same here, then realised u could chop the lot off and have a speedster that is like a gtt d typeI wanted to make a GTT pick up, I even did drawings to work out what it would look like
I reckon a pick up, (VW caddy style) would look
No, did the same as you just got it MOT'd ..had my third MOT before Christmas and still no problemswent through the mot ok on that side of things, as the car was the same as as a normal 5 but with a subframe /suppension turrets welded in the back

Me and Haz did a roof swap on a van shell a few years ago. We fitted the roof, door pillars from a GT onto the van shell. Removed the bulk of the van and shut it up like a pick up. It was quite a cool looking thing, unfortunately it didn't progress past a bare shell. Haz may have some pictures somewhere or other
all the gear an no idea...i think thats the way but only if it looked oe,that be cool.

i personally think here it looked amazing
however im one who although wouldnt do it myself now, enjoys to see a well put together heavilly modified car.

having no screen will be fine!
a mate of mine is an mot tester and said i did'nt even have to have one fitted
ive thought about doing a roof chop on my 5, but hot rod style with the front lower than the rear, and keeping a screen.
i think it would loof cool.
any1 able to photoshop it for me?
im sure i remember a mk2 golf having this done back in the day, a dark green/grey/black/blue car???
probably not worth the money/hassle tho.
better off spending my time money getting the car working again lol
