Well if I'm to SVA to hell with the steel shell!

If I'm to have my mini mojo SVA tested i might as well ditch the shell (wich will probably rust, again!) and go for a complete fibreglass body shell.
I've already got a fibreglass front end, bonnet, boot and doors! So might as well go the whole hog!

The only reason i was trying to keep the shell was to keep the registration and avoid SVA but as I'm now going to SVA they'll probably Q plate it anyway!

shame not to keep the reg plate but I'm not that fussed.

Got any idea where to get a full fibreglass shell from?

There was a post about grp mini shells not so long ago.

See if you can get your hands on one of the Stewart and Arden replica shells.

I think they were being made by Gerry Hawkridge, but stand to be corrected.

If you don't know them, see http://www.statim.co.uk/Minisprint.htm

didn't Hawk cars go bust?
I don't think Rover liked them making the shells!
Might be wrong!

No Hawk Cars are fine, it was when BMW took over Rover it all went funny. Local chap in T Wells used to run a specialist Mini service/repair place who was commissioned (fwir) to build up the shells).

IIRC BM tossers jumped on everyone who used the name Mini in their trading name.
