Fine for a race or hill-climb car (subject to regulations), but not for a road or rally car. For road use a classic Mini needs the full steel body-shell as the entire shell takes the dynamic loads and any crash loads. That is how it was designed.

To change the basic structure and be able to confirm that the strength still exists would require extensive engineering structural analysis and calculations which would not be economically viable.
