should i flipfront my mini now??? i have to have the car moved by friday night though due to a neighbor having a party in the entry!!!!

thats only 2 days of graft, drill the spotwelds, part the outer wings from the inners, cut the 4 tabs off the front & mount the brace bars & rough fit the front back on!

the Search-section on this forum is blummin superb & simple to use, unlike some other forums, without the search-section & the help of this bunch of chaps on here i'll never be able to !!!Start the day with a 998cc turbo!!! :) i'm getting closer though!

it could be done, removing the front can be done in a day no probs.. but to get a really good fit it will take longer than that imo.

yeah if going flip i would reckomend doing a metal one. i welded the front slam pannel and the outer wings on, then used Dzus clips on the apex pannels. Tuk TUk did his same but used different clips which look really good too.

If the rest of the car is rust free then 2 days should be enough. The actual front end removal and refitting on my car was easy but I discovered that my scuttle corners were shagged. So that slowed me up alot when doing mine
