Convertible csi on the bay

[Erik]

Maybe worth it for someone in Texas to save for a driver/beater?

Clearly rusty, but hey, they've done all the heavy sawzall work for you and you get a bitchin' top too!

the car looks like crapp , but hey...

...is that a euro model?

 

[shanon]

looks like a good candidate for a parade or Pope mobile.

Come on.....someone 'finish it'

;-)

By "finish it" I gather you mean put it out of it's misery. They shoot horses don't they?
I'd love to have it for parts but shiping to the northeast would be cost prohibitive.

With a title like: "1973 BMW 3.0 CSI CS CAR PART CONVERTIBLE 2002 TII CSL BBS RIMS BATMOBILE CLASSIC 3.0CS M30 TII 2002" you know it isn't going to be pretty.

I never thought than anyone could transform a car as beautiful as a coupe into something so ugly!

You don't like fastback convertibles?

LOL

Jay,

You don't like fastback convertibles?

LOL

maybe this was their inspiration?

 

[Simufly]

Do hope they did alot of strengthening, removing the roof from a monocoque structure virtually destroys any structural integrity. Bet it twists like a goodun!

Body flex, the forerunner to the 4 wheel steering option on some Infiniti cars!

 

[andyleonard]

Body flex on one of these cuts is pretty easily tamed. Remove the rocker covers and weld in 1x3 steel tubes down the gunnels with a tab pointing at the center of the car at each end. Replace rockers. Fab 4 1" straps that bolt to above tabs and attach to each corner of a 8" square plate in the center, under the driveshaft, resulting in a large removable "X." The car is much stiffer this way than with the roof. We had to change the shocks.
