I liked the look of the photo you posted in the link, but thought it might look even cooler if you chopped the top and gave it a fabric top like the Fiat Jolly...

 

i have a very low budget on this and i plan on doing all the work with me and my fiance'.......i already picked up all the 1x1 sq tubing for re-enforcing the car.......and i'm gonna start off by replacing the floors......cause they are BAD....

I suppose not worth voting to leave it a coupe?

Neither the roadster nor the beach car appeals to me...

 

well since the back seat was cut out, there is tons of rust and i feel like im doing the car a favor in the first place, i figured might as well try something different

 

Definitely. Go with something absolutely unique. Sounds like a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to following this project.

lol......it's all good.......The Roadster is what i wanted to do anyways.....so that worked out.........im gonna make this build as cheap as possible so that everyone can see that you can take a mini in bad shape and make the best of it even if you cant dump thousands of dollars into it........thats what this whole build is all about.......

 

keep us updated with pics.

 

i will.........this is a build that everyone on here can be a part of ........as i move forward with the build updated pics will be posted

 

ok..i need to prepared for what im gonna need to do to this car (i am making this list of to do's now)...here's the next step.........I am gonna cut the roof off for the roadster so do we: (Car will be a 2 seater)

Use Roof as a hard Tauno Cover

Or Canvas Cover
