What people thoughts on fibreglass minis, for example are they able to take the weight of the subframe on the front and mounting the steering collum love to no peoples thoughts on this. I was going to buy one but was worried about crack or is that stupid?

The FRA shell is based on thet Sabre Sprint shell. And my Sabre Sprint is a great road car, but there is some flex.

I think that this is probably because the people making them now had nothing to do with the design and don't understand the material. This is just my opinion of course. The ones that are about and have been for years should be fine as that is what they were designed for.

The shell is a mini minus if anyones heard of that one, what sort of problem would you have with a 200bhp engine on board. Is this one ok with nothing or will it crack all over????? cheers for help so far

Given Alpine 1600 or the like rallying and everything, I think the material is not the potential issue.

Why not getting yourself a Marcos, it deals with the main issue of the Mini (aero) and they must be well-sorted after all these years

Rusty by nature

None, it will be fine. Structural GRP is a very stiff and will not crack.
