Chop Shop

[sp8s 1]

I don't think anyone has posted this so I will

There is a new program on Discovery called Chop Shop London Garage. 7.30 Tuesdays

The basics of the program is 2 guys (a Londoner and a Bangladeshi) find wrecked cars and make them into high performance super cars. What a friggin laugh. You just gotta see the program.

The first car they do is a E36 coupe. Watch it and see what not to do to a Beema.

They even have a web site so check it out and have a laugh or a cry

Web site. Have started it at the Beema photos

Forgot to mention have a look for the 6 inch wheel spacers on the back wheels. Yeah you read it right 6 inch spacers

It may be not so good looking, but that kind of fabrication is tops. Wish I could take a sh*t arse dunger and convert it into whatever I wanted

Damn those cars are terrible!

[bravo 35]

Wheels look familiar Simon???

Its pretty interesting stuff they're doing with their fabrication but im not a fan of the products of his imagination. I couldn't keep count how many times the presenter said "supercar" in the show- a 318is (?) with pod filter, exhaust and port polishing is hardly a supercar.

Maybe it became "Super" when they added the extra 2 cyls?

ah. in the first part of the show they modified and were playing around with the 4cyl- they put a 6 in it? better...

What a disgusting car. It looks like an automobile version of a 'roided-up bodybuilder.

I think I'll stick to watching Wheeler Dealers!

I watched that show yesterday.. They put 6 inch spacers on it!!! even after the engineer said thats a bad idea.

[Driftit 2078]

Lol 6" Spacers. Hmmm does the car come with a life time supply of Hub bearings? Imagine the extra load put through the hubs. I am pretty sure it is illegal to have spacers more than 30mm in NZ.

[Cale 36]

Bleh!! So wrong!

Pretty impressive work, if only they had better taste.

[Mikal 4]

Also half way through the build the engine bay caught on fire. That was good for a laugh
