But I thought you said "MRS BUNGLES BIG AND FAT BUT I CAN ONLY VOTE ONCE " ? (note I was quoting Bungle and it wasn't me saying that) so we'll be back to square one :tongue:

Not hugely different but obviously it depends on your bodyshell.

With mine the kit was built as a one off for the car mainly due to the height difference, but also due to the fibre glass floor. The "feet" of the kit are much bigger than the normal kits to spread the weight better and are sandwiched with another plate underneath the car. Other than that I'm pretty sure it's much the same.

I would say some things are trickier as you can't just weld it like you would a normal mini but I am trying to learn more about glues and bonding :grin:

ok cheers dude

If your thinking of using an FRA shell might be worth having a chat with Chris at Z-cars to see if you can do one of these :saywhat:

That seat must be well cold in the winter Nice mini. Looks kinda like a minus or are my photos squashed?

[Ade]

I think it's an FRA shell..... but it is very low!!! Mind you saying that it's about the same height as mine :grin:

[Boab]

That'll be the answer then

[R1mini]

2 inches lower in the roof height, 4 inches lower in ride height making it 44 inches high according to Chris

Is it FRA I thought they went out of business?

Cheers
