Can anyone help me, I am after a Roundnose Mini front end for a uni Project. and have absolutely no idea where to look for one? can anyone give me some advice on where i could find one, the condition doesn't matter, and i'd prefer if it was in NSW or VIC. thanks.

Did you just email me at the NSW Mini Club? I just replied to an email sent to our club, telling the guy to come here and ask..... :lol:

If it wasn't you, there are now 2 people looking for round nose front cuts!

no thats was me. i took your advice.

the project is to make a lounge out of it. thats why it has to be a roundnose, cause the bonnet comes down low enough at the front to have the seat come out of. if that makes sense.

tell you what - Buy a Rover Mini front cut, and I'll take all the mechanicals off you hands as a favour, leaving you the shell for your project.

[Hmm do you think he'll go for it? - No, me neither , but it is worth a shot LOL]

thats a good idea, i'm not too sure how easy it would be though? i know the front can be done quite easily. i might actually give that a look. cause then it wont matter if it's a square nose.

that looks pretty straightforward. I might have to make one, and use the front for a barbeque. The 2 together might make a good outdoor setting :D .
I'm actually considering selling my original mini project ('65 Deluxe)
http://www.geoffandkatrina.com/oldmini.htm. Anyone know if it would be worth anything?
If its just simsmetal material it might be worth turning into cool furniture
