Well I have just spent the day fitting the Midas with some of Matts( The Miniman) bling hilo's and rod change oil seals, also fitted new diff side case seals and gave it a full service and fixed the wiring for the reversing lights :D I am really very happy as it now does not leak oil :D :D :D well for a couple of days :lol:

Thanks Matt all your bits fitted nice and easy just like they should

Question:

Is the body a fibregalss monocoque? or does it have seperate frame?

Does it use mini subframes?

The interior bits are they mini or other?

I very impressed by what I see and I am just trying to increase my understanding of them. I am going to the OK soon so I will be in postion to inspect some and maybe bring one home. ..maybe...

Good to hear it is going so well for you..

It is a bit of a worry not leaking oil but I am sure a few drives will fix that right up :D

The body is a fibreglass monocoque and does not use any metal at all for the chassis, a mini front subframe is mounted to the body and a beam type axle in the rear using standard swing arms and coilover shocks in the rear. The interior does not use any mini bits with the dash panel actually being a MG Metro dash and the rest is all from Midas except the seats which are Cobra
