Simon im fairly certain mk3 windows will fit (as they were in my shell) and to the untrained eye will look the same apart from not having the piano hinge. I think ive still got the windows if you want them. Not all mk1 rear 1/4s had piano hinges mate, I have 1 that has the later fittings (2 lugs) I had a go one night at putting a mk3 none opening window and it was to big for the hole. I would like to keep the piano hinge as its mk1

The doors will stay as there, is there is lots more places where i can save weight. Like some Alloy seat mounts. thanks simon.

Where did you get the new seals from or did you swap them? Edited by madmk1 on 28th Dec, 2011. I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Where did you get the new seals from or did you swap them? If you mean the seals inside the frames, I just used the old ones. But looking here P/N 17 is available by the meter. http://www.somerfordmini.co.uk/eshop/index...page=page&id=40 https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

Are you just gonna fit the plastic boot n bonnet for Avon? Be a shame to spoil what your car is, but knowing you you'll do it nicely and the car will just get better as usual I seriously doubt it! |
