I need to turn my mini on to its roof, I have it on its side on a mattress at the moment, could I turn it on to its roof or is this not a good idea. Any advice would be great

    Don’t put it on the roof you will crease it and it won’t go straight again.
    I’ve always tipped shells on their sides.
    Use a strip of carpet to rest the bottom seam on.
    Then a large wooden beam also covered in carpet to rest the gutter on.
    Beam about 7” x 4” 5 to 6 feet long.
    This rest the shell on strong points without distorting it. The rear quarter is then suspended off the floor.
    Built 3 race cars and 2 road cars this way. Easy and cheap.
    Mending and Pai...
