My greatest fear in life is that when I die my wife will sell my Mini and tools for the price I told her I paid for them!

not quite have heard of a couple of others done this way .
interesting idea .
but i think i will pass also.

I actually like the look of it.

There is a nice red one getting around Adelaide. It's not the same though (obviously... ). It's a round nose but still a chopped down sedan. The owner, who is a member of Hotbricks bought it already modified. It shows that a chopped down sedan can actually look cool and unique.

There's a small pic of it in the recent TME in the Mini's At The Mill Article (along with a picture of my filthy engine )

I am building one now, just trying to figure out if I will use the C pillar as the B pillar or something else. I will more than likely just thin down the original C pillar so I can use original glass.

Yeah ive had a good look at it and i think its the flares and the roll-bar that makes it look poo.
But i guess with everything its all down to personal prefrance.

It's got Mini Miami on the boot lid, which indicates it was probably converted by GB's Mini and Moke World. They did a lot of them in the late-80's and early 90's.

Cheers,
