Hmm didn't look like it had been de-seamed from the shots of the inside of the rear uprights..... yet completely seamless from the outside..... the mind boggles.... just assumed it were fibreglass! :nugget: :tongue:

R1 Minimagic, I notice you are in an adjacent county.

Only just discovered this forum! Feel like I've been pioneering something tucked away in a cold and dark garage, spending more time scratching my head, than making progress, when all the while others have been going through the same experience! Bugger!

I've been working on my R1 engined Z-cars mini now for 11 months - sorting EVERYTHING prior to paint (off to paint within next couple of weeks), and wondered if you'd be interested in sharing a few tales? A few topics immediately spring to mind- front suspension, rr bulkhead, airbox, wiring etc,etc,etc.

Oh well, just glad I've discovered this forum now, rather than never!
