it looks a lot worse than it is, needs the usual panels, front floor pans, outer cills, corner scuttles, and rear valance to mention a few, a good time to learn how to weld!!!
Looking forward to getting it back on the road as it was a great car for me in the past.

A fully carbon fiber Mini Marcos shell weighs just 7.25kg.
Re: my son Darragh's project
sorry lads it took so long to get back with some more posts, but between bad weather no shed and probably loads more excusses we got started again, after some soul searching we decidedthat the first shell was too bad to repaire so we got another one and got started.
