    driving with no roof or doors

    maybe a stupid question, and really premature considering i cant drive mine at all at the moment but can i drive the series 3 with the roof off and have people sat on the benches in the back? also does the thing legally have to have doors. i know its probably stupid questions but its been an on...

    My series 3 project

    Cheers I will defiantly look into both of those! And to tell you the truth I have never done anything this drastic before, my previos cars have had a bit of body work down and the suspension changed that's about as far as my skills go so this is all just one big learning curve! :)
