At the moment I am restoring my mini and it needs a roof replacement, do I just have to buy a roof skin or is it possible to cut the roof off at the pillars and use another roof of another mini

    I would stick with fitting the roof skin
    you will lose a lot of strength by cutting the pillars
    there is also reinforcements inside the roof space to keep the pillars jigged
    I think you will also need to cross brace diagonally
    but others can confirm better than me

    With lots of careful measuring, it can be done. Not for the faint hearted though if you want it perfect.
