    has that been converted from a 4dr hardtop into a roadster? how about a side shot..... whatever it is, it'll look sharper with a glossy paint job and different wheels n tires. not that it ain't sharp already.... just saying it could be improved. a Watson-style panel job would rock....

    What question did the OP ask?
     
  15. he asked what do you guys think of this one

    so that opens the door for it being critiqued


    what i want to know advance1 is why are you posting cars that have been mutilated to some point?

    i liked the merc until you said it isnt a real convert

    I think I've always wondered what my car would look like with shaved handles. Think I might have to do it.

    Have had this car since the 80s when I lived in calif. it was a rust free 2dr ht that got in such bad shape from sitting that I posted it on eb, it got bid to 135 dollars "forget that" so I decide to do something with it and this is what I came up with, 62 mercs are not worth that much and at the time I did not think I was doing any harm by cutting the roof off, but wish I had not done it at this point its not as driveable without a roof, weather wise.
