To be honest, I missed the bit about the chop top until after I posted my response, but isn't cutting the roof off just bastardising it even further?

It's just making it even less original.

Anyone who's done their homework would know it isn't a rinky-dink original 402, plus it will have the wrong engine and gearbox as well (with modifications to suit). But not only that, once the roof has been chopped off you wouldn't even be able to convert it back to proper 403.
