Unfortunately I have started a project thread, so that's it now. I've gotta do it! :)

Wouldn't like to roll it though! :)


i dont realy think a mini screen would give much protection anyway...are you going to take the screen height down aswell so it doesnt look so tall? or lean it back somehow?

Nah, because I am 6'6" so me head would be sticking above it! :)

I'm basically planning to do the front screen frame the same as the Rover cabby.

At the moment, it's just an idea, but I definitely have all of the bits needed to do it. Could even finish the build of the 1400 engine and slap that in it! :(

I say do somthing similar to this blue roadster I've seen, mini one I mean.

It's all de-seamed with the doors either removed or welded up so you have to hop over the top. Also has these two little windscreens about a foot wide 7 or 8 inchis tall in a little curve. Looks very nice.

Have to try and scan a pic of something.

Although as nice as it is and sounds, I can’t see mini mad me getting in and out of it.

my missus is in love with that little blue roadster, she saw it at Showdown last year, and just fell in love, she thinks its cute, and as a result wants one identical, but kermit green, and with a 2.0 16V redtop in! I tried to explain that the engine might not fit but little technicalities like that don't matter to her :)

If yours is anything like that one Matt then it'd be awesome!!
