finny, there is a sticky that gives links to the NSW RTA rules for modifying a vehicle.

Read the rules, and you should be able to answer your own question. If you can't be bothered reading the rules, understanding them and doing suitable modifications, then you should not be even contemplating modifications, let alone to the extent you are talking about.
btw, i have never seen a legal fibreglass fronted mini in NSW, but that does not mean you could not get an engineering certificate if it complies with the guidelines in the link above. Like i said read and learn....
cheers
