Will your son be able to insure this when he is 17 with the modifications you are doing? Crystal Sound Audio said:

If you read the thread you'll know it's not for when he is 17 bud, he weill be using it in sprint and hill when he's 12. When he is 17 he can drive a bag of nails like the rest of us had too lol On 8th Sep, 2013 Carlzilla said:
Doesn't look a bad fit! Just needs about an inch taking off where it meets the scuttle panel mate but that's not a bad thing, seems to have been made over size just for this. |

Yeah most of them are, owing to most minis are different and then panel changes over the years, or even dodgy panel changes haha. After having my front as it was before though, I'd keep metal A panels if you weren't intending to mate. On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

Good to hear, helps keep extra rigidity in the door posts, you'd be surprised how heavy the doors are as std. Keeping steel doors on mine but lightening them, fitting poly windows and electric windows because it works out a smidge lighter than the winders, and just because I'd rather have them really, no more trying to lean over in a harness to open the other window!

Why are you worried about saving grams of weight?

I'm just trying not to add any extra weight than std, purely because as you said the cage is going in, and other things. I'm mainly relieving the doors so I can give the door hinge panels an easier life On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

Just pop into minispares Oldbury mate, or theres M machine who I've heard good things from. Just ring up spares before you go so you don't waste your journey! Or ask Matt to pop over and pick it up so you know it's there. On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

If it had an engine in, I may have agreed, but seeing as the shell near bare, you'll find your advice is wrong bud.
