No the box that directs air up to the windscreen. It was a deluxe thing, lots of minis didn't have.

Forgot, I run without a heater too.
Also gives more leg room.

I'm not sure what to aim for when I get around to building my light weight but I think under 600kg is quite achievable, 550kg might be too far to go but as light as possible will be the main aim :) .

arghh!!! don't remove inner guards. you need under bonnet pressure to push air through the radiator.
Light Mini = 850 shell, stripped to bare metal (no under body sound deadening), dry suspension, alloy bonnet, boot lid, doors, perspex side windows (mounted not in the frames but in rubber seals direct to body). drill the hell out of the sub frames, Spectrum light weight wheels, alloy radiator, Super Minifins.
Then we can go on with all of the alloy KAD stuff but all $$$$$
Marc you still got my rotisserie? It was a loaner mate. Time to return.
