Just watched Chop Shop on TV.

They started with Martin Kemp's shiny classic Saab Turbo...

And turned it into this hurl hurl hurl suicide

If you like the kind of TV where you need to hide behind the sofa this one comes highly recommended.

The best bit is that you need to wait until the next episode for the part where Martin Kemp sees it for the first time. smile

For starters that front bumper is guilty of spoiling a regular car but I can't think what it is?

You like that? Try the series where they 'restore' classic cars...

A 900 seriously, that was the base? And it looked like homer Simpson was let loose on it!
Just goes to show, a moron can cloud9 up any design given enough hammers.

The original 900 is a classic shape, even down to the alloys. Always fancied one.

Those who butchered it, need butchering themselves.

grr

I don't know what happened since, but it seems to have met up with a monster truck.

Probably the best thing for it.

I've watched a couple of these programs and its make me shudder, bare feet, no PPE and very basic tools, but to be fair they certainly get the work done....... to a sort of standard.

Ok just watched a couple of these. I hate that cockney muppet all he does is shout and moan. He desnt seem to add anything of value whish i guess is approapriate as neither do the mods.....

The other chap is a joke. He cant style of shit. Its just weld some crap on and change the headlights.

Fast and loud or wheeler dealers are better watch.
