Im looking to have a smooth rear on my mini would to have internal hinges for my boot.
has anyone done this mod or have any ideas what hinges i could use to do this. Was thinking possibly mini bonnet hinges?
Also would like to take away the lock and handle, does anyone have any recommendations how best to do this.
Using a pull cable for the lock or a popper?
Thanks in advance.

i was going to use bonnet hinges for the hinges.
look around a scrap yard to cable release bonnets and use the mechinism from one of those.
avoid electic ones wouldent be fun if you got a flat battery!
