so is it done yet? isnt it hard to give up a car after you spent so much time with it?

 

im not gonna do another fiberglass flipfront ever.....lol

 

few more weeks....and it is always hard to see one go......but just gotta move on to the next one

 

Damn.

 

Please show pictures when you are finished... looks great!

 

i will !!!

 

the anticipation is killing me! I think its worth the time for the flip front...

 

it's cool to have it .......but if your the one doing it, your mind will change...lol.....the flip front isn't just a bolt on iteam.....lots of trial and error with fiberglass ......

 

go with a steel flip front!!!!

 

alot better than fiberglass

 

im doing a steel flip front on my other mini

 

make sure to start a thread about it, with a pictorial......it's alot better way to go if anyone wants to do it....a little more user friendly on the install.....dont get me wrong it's not easy but it is easier to work with compared to fiberglass

 

so not much left to do on this one so i figured i'd give a before and after

before:








After:

 

BS I don't believe it. That can't be the same car!!

What grill did you end up putting on it? I remember you were having problems with the newer type grill because of the flip front

 

excellent work

 

You really should add some of those final shots to the video. It needs some closure, namely a front end Show off that beautiful paint!

 

i will once it is completly done.....

 

Owners are coming in from seattle on saturday to drive their mini for a few days......just about done

 

where do I fine the steel flip front....

 

well im sure someone has a steel flip front kit, but im not sure who....but you can make it yourself with all the panels
