How easy would it be to take the front off a City E and fit this one?

just as 'easy' as fitting a roundnose front. On 20th Oct, 2015 Tom Fenton said:

Really just depends on how skilled you are. I'm putting a steel clubman front on a later shell I have for a vauxhall conversion and so far it' easy. Mind you I weld and fabricate every day. |

Garry - thats a comprehensive frame you have made, how come you didnt just use / make brace bars? Edited by MarkGTT on 21st Mar, 2010. |

Its adding strength to the frame, but not as much as if it was from the frame to the bulkhead.
In boost we trust |

I bought tht one, to be honest it is poor quality. The bonnet was too tight at the front and leaves large gaps at the back.

I thought it would be stronger if the triangulation went from the subframe straight to the bulkhead, T'da;

Nice job, Dave. I bought the same frontend for the wife's mini as Haimesyboi. Like his, the one I bought took alot of fettling to fit right and I still could get the bonnet to fit right. Tight at the front, slack at the rear |
