Hi

I am thinking of buying a roundose rolling shell and changing everything from my 1275 mini Clubman (Not 1275GT or 1275LS) over to it.
This is after I take the roundnose back to bare metal and paint it or get it painted)

OK that might be down the track a bit
The thing is I don't want to be forever buying roundnose parts as the clubman ones won't fit

So what doesn't make the swap? Obviously bonnet, grill, front subframe?
What about bumpers? doors?

The parts don't need to be 850 looking as I can do that later (and I like the clubman interior)
Or should i really be asking what does make the swap

Thanks, Arrin

Subframes will fit. Aslong as you stick with dry and not hydrolastic.

Doors wont fit, the catch panel is completely different.

Other than that, everything else will fit.

So the front subframe will go from a clubman into a roundnose? I thought it might be longer as the engine bay is...
Why does the Hydrolastics make a difference? my clubman has hydrolastics and I would like to try and keep the wet suspension if I can.

How much is a decent price for a rolling shell with doors and subframe

You can go wet easy, just replace both front and rear subframes and all the right piping.

I'd keep it wet- to improve the ride and handling fit front shocks with brackets, and comp rear hydro bumpstops.

Thanks guys, Yer I was trying to keep the hydro cause I thought it was a really neat sort of idea and a bit of motoring history.

I am reconditioning the rear swing arms so I will get some new bump stops at the same time.
What do the Comp bump stops look like? I'm sure I will get sold the wrong ones

Any ideas on what a good straight shell with a little bit of rust is worth ?
(I know how long is a piece of string) A rough figure would be good though

Downside on Hydro is that it will need pumping up every non and then.

But if you leave it low it looks bloody good.

Seats will fit. Rear cards will fit, but front door cards won't fit roundy doors.

rear cards are 2 piece on morris and 1 piece on leyland.

No reason why they wouldn't fit though???????????

About twice half its length. No but seriously a shell about 300 to 600 bucks. But it really depends on your luck sometimes even a carton of beer.

Front disc brakes would rock on a roundie.
