The yanks do it all the time, they hate clubbies. Ask on the MiniMania board.

If the yanks do it that is reason enough not to do it, i mean the yanks are known for there fine styling of motorcars aren't they :D

just buy a round nose and sell the clubbie the cost of changing will be more, you have to cut evrything of from the screen forward, inner and outer guards and then try and get the new bits on right it will be a lot of work

roundie vans are quite slim these days especially in Adelaide!!
infact i dont think i have ever seen one here but that doesnt mean anything!

i am just toying with the idea and havent made a decision yet.
the rover front cut that i getting in few weeks is in good nick and is far better than mine
i wasnt sure how to do it and if it weren't easy to do i wouldn't do it.

i have been told by GT1310 that it is quite easy but i am not sure. I think just transferring everything from the front cut is the go. I will just ignore my horrible engine bay!! :cry:

cheers

Ozmotorsport on here had one, I think Mini & Moke World did it.
Bonnet was held on with pins.
