My god what a project... Who puts so much filler on when there is so much metal to work with! Great potential though.

Regarding your subframes, why don't you send them off to get sandblasted instead of doing it by manual labour?

From my own experience,it starts as a "thin skim" then a bit more to fill the low spots,leave it overnight and fill some more low spots.Repeat until satisfied/had enough then half inch filler.Steve..

Well, it's been a while but finally have finished my Master's in Biomedical Engineering and officially can start dreaming about the Mini PUP again! That being said, there is alot of work to come, but I have some really cool ideas to incorporate. Since it's got the unique motor, especially for here in the States, it is really going to get a proper engineering job, including some better aero bits such as a flat floor, some custom cooling components that also add aero, and a pretty unique hybrid space-frame chassis that is incorporated into the body. Looking forward to really getting rolling on these ideas I've been developing over the last couple years, and bringing them to life.

 

First step will be working on a getting a mounting design for the rear subframe front and working forward on the floor framing. I will try to start updating as that moves forward in design!
