Ever wondered what you could do with that worthless rust free Clubman shell??

Here's an idea.



Mmmmmmm 2 seater couch.

Click on the link below to see some not-so-detailed pictures of how it was made....

you could fill the petrol tank up with beer and have a special pump to pump it out so you dont have to get up to get a drink while watching bathurst or the likes.
Now there is an idea for the clubman shell i have in my back garden, the front is goin to be a BBQ and the rear can be a couch, bar, entertainment seat for my pub i have.
thanks for the idea.

Just remember to get rid of the subframe and trailing arms.... then design something a bit lighter to support the wheels...... because you can save ALOT of weight by doing that

You could mount a sub in the boot connected to the home theatre system for that vibrating seat movie experience

I WANT ONE! I must have one!

I was going to make one - I had a half cut that was perfect for the job but I ended up just getting rid of it. I think I'm going to have to make one some day although my wife doesn't share my enthusiasm for having it in the lounge room .

This website gives a good step-by-step of the process http://www.miniacs.de/mini-net/couch.php

I'm shocked it's gone nearly six hours and nobody's picked you up in the worthless clubman comment!!!

well,,,i believe that the green one in the first post is an English version of the later Leyland/Rover mini,,,& not in fact a "Clubman",,,goin on the tail lights & rear number plate light only tho,,,,so therefore, the statement isn`t really suited to the pic,,,but then i would have to agree to some part of the statement, but disagree with the "Usless" part,,,as it`s quite obvious that clubmans do have their usess,,,

they make good speedway cars,,,& also quite good lounges & BBQs too,,,& on the odd occasion have been the basis for a good engine conversion , not unlike the Turbo Charged Alloy V8 jobby

hee hee,,,sorry , couldn`t resist

You should put your heart & soul into everything you do.

You're going to turn your wife into a couch??!!!!

you must be a journalist - talk about your all time mis-quotes!!!

I'd better not show her this thread now - I'll get in trouble and definitely won't get approval to muck up HER loungeroom with a mini couch!!
