I know the Minus is long dead and gone, but is anybody still making new fibreglass shells?

 

Is the Minitech sportsman / FRA by TDK racing still produced, looked at the website but it only has the hatchback type shell on it?

Minus.... dead & buried!

Domino.... dead & buried!

TDK Racing.... dead & buried!

 

As sledgehammer says the abs sprint shell is still available.

I don't know of any other GRP shells being made now -but i wish i did, there was talk of resurrecting the Mini Cord but i don't think anything came of it.

[sledgehammer]

There must be more about - ABS were the only ones I could find doing a shell as such

 

someone was doing a van shell & a pickup - but never heard any more

 

a lot of these company's work to order 

 

so there won't be any stock , but they may have the moulds sitting around

 

maybe contact Zcars when they are back - they may know of someone

Thanks everybody for your answers.

That jogged my memory -GRP vans made by Minitrack UK.

Companycheck still shows Company Status as active but not sure if they're still making the shells.

MPI GRP shells were available on eBay from dealershipcloseoutsuk2010 in Northampton          http://www.ebay.co.u...=p2047675.l2557

Not sure if that link will work as it's no longer available.

 

Info from a old thread -Domino moulds were crunched before ABS could make an offer.

Dave Kimberley had TDK Racing & FRA mini shells.

ABS Motorsport used to advertise FRA shells -check out their website now.... no FRA shells.

[mattmiglia]

I thought I'd read fairly recently of people buying fibreglass bits from tdk, shame.

[Colinmac1330]

Think Dave was selling the moulds for the FRA Minis recently 

[Itsaminithing]

Not quite a GRP mini shell but....

Hello,

 

Has anyone used the ABS Sprint shells or know of a video? At £4,500 they're a lot cheaper than a new metal shell. I sent them an email and they said although the shell is fine without a roll cage they've been told by their insurance company to recommend one all the same. to be honest I'be put one in anyway. I've searched YouTube and don't see anything....  

Cheers

I was told just the other day that Dave/TDK are still trading? shame if he has packed it in....
