Na don't cut the A,B & C pillars. Just take the roof off lol. Lots of useless metal =P
Oh and you have 1 to many seats in that car, more weight you don't need to be carrying round.

monster truck escort anyone ? [V] owell, atleast it will pass roady. it handles a bit better i assume due to more even heights?  that poo poo over the quarter panel is not dust/dirt, its the sparkle from flake.. and yes the bumpers look cheap plastic but in reality they were painted the same (also sparkley) colour of engine bay, boot & door jams, camera doesnt pick it up tho..lol

WHAT A LEGEND!!
she still runs! and well! head gasket is not blown.. i cant believe the abuse this is holding up with..
yet my mates gemini couldnt even hold one paddock rally...
yeah 45 mins in a paddock left this gemini with a seized engine, managed to unseize but makes this weird noise (all clackety like)
then the clack got louder and louder till it seized again.. by by gemini..
for some "cheap ass asain hatchback" its holding up soo well.
until today, i kinda ran the tank empty haha..
wow this is really off subject
