Hi all

Came across this link today, the e36 that was "re-designed" by the Chop Shop TV show is up for sale.....

Really not sure about this one - it is either an eyesore that has destroyed an e36 or a really interesting/one-off e36.

I can never decide whether the cars that they modify are any good or not........anybody got any thoughts on this one?

Looks like they have tried to turn it into a mercedes and failed

 

[disco!!!!]

it should have been shot a birth

I dunno why becuse its not my thing at all But i quite like it...:eek
The work thats gone into that is amazing....

Whilst I can appreacite the efforts to redesign and build the body, its over the top for what it is, a basic 325i. I don't feel its worth the money and mechanically its a just a 325i, wheel spacers and ATE power brake discs and pads.

Chop Shop wanted about £20K for that, didn't sell it for ages and refused offers around £7K. Due to the TV show it's worth a bit but nothing near what the seller may want for it.

no its not DSK, its a 150mph supercar :lol

i remember that show, it cracks me up. i think its awful but each to their own and all that

i saw this car in the flesh at a show last year it really was getting a lot of interest and publicity it really is a crowd puller, i think the aim of the modification was to make it look like an 850 at the rear and it did have massive wheels on it at the time, i think its ok but dont like the front end at all.

The show, its alright something to watch but, the cars they build :eek

All the work to the body is very crude and covered up with paint and filler to make it look good. Not for me im afraid and he's giving you a DVD of the build of the car just to let you see what shit is underneath all that paint and filler. I think if you were paying 20k for the car and seen the DVD you would go into a deep depression:hihi

 

[bimmer man]

It's horrible, they did nothing to the suspension and they could at least of got the exhaust comming out the back properly, and fitted a shiny one, for £20k I would want a rebuild of everything, I'm supprised it hasn't rusted and fell apart yet as they only tacked it up and put loads of filler on it and they didn't underseal it, and the wheel spacers would bugger up the wheel hubs and cause problems with getting it on ramps, 20k you could spend on a tidy m3 and do it up lol,

Possible problems already maybe.??. Tread patterns on the tyres are different?? Either that or as usual for a solicitor he just goes round in bloody circles lol.
