Great lock-down read from start to present day! Been most enjoyable binge reading over the last few days.
 
The global situation has allowed me to reinvigorate my own rebuild (Mini not a Moke) but while researching, came across your project. Great project undertaken with great ambitious approach.

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

How’s the roof coming on?

Didn't like it in the end, looks a bit cr@p. So have decided to make a separate ally sheet for the hatch and use the bikini top again. It'll look neater.

Sometimes (often ?) we need to make something only to drop it after looking at it or trying it. Learning curves and experiments, which I find I learn so much more from than 'successes'.

 

For what ever it's worth, I'm quietly glad your taking a bit of a different direction with the hatch.

 

Would you ever consider a rag top ? They are far from 'ultimate' and have their pros and cons too.

Any updates?

Any updates?

The only up date will be replacing the gear selector oil seal, get it MOT'd and put it up for sale. I really need to focus on my mini and I just don't have the time for everything theses days.

Saw this up for sale on ebay, shame I can't make you an offer at the moment

It is quite niche so will probably be up for a bit. Had one offer from the States but it was too low.
