start with a rover shell, and put a clubman front on it....

everything is different - size & shape of the doors, pillars etc. etc.

You can buy a new Clubby body from Pommyland, but it will have no ID, good luck getting it registered here in Oz... :lol:

<edit> This is Oz, mate, real Minis all have external hinges... and proper shape doors.

Nothing wrong with adjusting the mirrors, other than the fact that my arms are too short. :wink:

OMG, the Doc has dissed me! :shock:

They match the old school look, plus they come in handy when stopping by on the way home to buy milk, you just hang the shopping bag with the milk off them and don't spill a dro on the carpet .

[quote="ss wanab"]how hard is it

It would be easier to find a (compact) internal hinge setup off another car and adapt it to the mini doors. Plenty of starlt front cuts lying around that might have what you need. Really wouldn't be that hard. Worth a go if not to be different.
