Hi I was wondering if anyone could recommend any panel beaters in sydney that have worked with minis before... im *contemplating* a clubby to rover roundnose conversion steve from brickworx said with the rover front no mods would be needed short of the weld on and repaint...


$200 from brickworx

it's all up in the air i dunno if the elusive roundnose van will appear so i thought of looking at it from a different angle...

steve said his last quote he recieved was between $1500-$2500

but alas he's in melbourne so it'd be easier to do this sort of thing in sydney what with pulling an engine out etc...

mate steve is in adelaide...

and i dont like the idea of chopping off a perfectly good clubman to put a roundnose
front on it.

in your opinion better to be patient and wait for the elusive roundie van?

yes definately 1million times i think that is a better idea. trust me mate, something
wiull turn up it always does. your bugdget is right on the money for a beautiful van,
just wait a bit and you wiull have one. be patient my friend

Probably easier and cheaper . Were you planning on keeping the clubby dash or reworking it into a custom or early one as well ? More cost there as well as the front .

thanks for all your help and suggestions guys!

Chris..
i've decided to heed your advice (it is very wise) i had an epiphany last night where i just thought NOOO you can't destroy a mini's identity like that!

i will wait for the roundie! i will wait!..... still waiting.... getting sleepy..... hehe

yeah, they have done the opposite with deans ute. it was imported from the uk without a front and then the clubman 1 was added .

lookin for another clubby

dean said he wouldnt be interested in the slightest... but that's ok
czerial was right id be destroying a perfectly good mini! might as well wait for a nice roundie to come along!

please come soon roundie! =)

Don't take it personal like....Dean must be a busy boy with his racing program and not all Panel Beaters (if they have any business sense) want to take on low volume, one off, specials....they are all to be busy replacing $1000 bolt on bumper bars
