Have to you say you have done an awesome job on the back of that Mini Ozmotorsport.. Did you do all the work or did someone do it for you?

I still cant even get my head around how perfect it looks and who ever did it is very clever in my book anyway ..

Cam,

What sort of welder are you going be using? I dont mean a soldering iron either.
If you have painted and welded a few cars, then your Mini K is not a good advertisement for you.
I'm rubbing back my car at the moment, and filled a couple of dents with filler, my partner worked at a panel shop before he moved up here and has told me that I have sanded the dents perfectly, and im only inexperienced, so what does that say about your work

Only just looked at the photos too Erica, ozmotorsport you've done a wicked job with that mini. Looks great mate
White circles kick arse over the black ones.

Hey DJU -14U and Chop Chop, only people who know me would know how funny your question is. Mate, I'm the worlds most useless person with any sort of tool. It was all my ideas that was about it. THe only thing I did was stick my hand in my pocket and polish it when i got it home. Some guy in McKay owns it now - he sent me a photo a few month ago and it looks exactly the same as when he got it (over two years ago) so that's some sort of compliment.

THe car was still registered as a Leyland and when I went o get a blue slip (after engineering of all the new bits) the guy was so confused he passed it even though it was a 1976 Rego car with not a scrap of polution gear left on it.

Who knows - one day we may be putting square noses on old roundies

Lynda, I'm here gathering info from people who have done this before, and people who know what there on about, so please, unless you have done this operation, take your comments elsewhere, or atleast have the decency to keep your constant bitching to private emails, we dont need this rubbish on a private forum.


Thanx to all that have replyed and sent PM's and emails, much apprectiated, I have been and had a closer look at the operation today, and i think i will just stay with the roundie inner-guards, and cut out the clubman ones, failing this i think the next step would be to get some 16gauge and just put a couples of faint bends in to make it hug the subframe. the inner guard is purely to keep dust etc out, as its not bolted to anything of any strength (anyone whos had a look would know it doesnt have to be engineered )


Thanx to all that have helped

-Cam

Cam, I believe a rover bonnet will pick up the clubman hinges, and an engineers certificate isn't required in vic as it's pre-71, I can confirm with my engineer if you like

I saw a terrible one in sydney in 2004 where the front had basically been fibreglassed on - yukko

I like the idea... I'll be doing it myself one day... a rover front cut on a clubman would go well.

I want to put a Kenworth prime mover cab on my van. And then am considering putting a unicylce mid section as the engine.

What do you think?
Not sure, but do you think I would have to get in engineered here in NSW?

Any help appreciated.
