I discovered today that you can buy a kit to create an 'Ogle Mini' replica. I love the styling of these things and thought what a great idea that someone is building replicas. The mini bodyhell is chopped off and the floorpan is reinforced and the GRP Ogle shell fitted. The chassis is done exacly like the ogle ones weer, except a roll hoop is built in to it apparently. Lovely. Its not cheap however. The cheapest kit is the bodyshell only at £5000. If you buy it with doors etc fitted and painted its £9000! You've gotta be pretty keen to spend that kind of dough I think. ANyway heres the site. www.nostalgiacars.co.uk/nc1000.htmNow check this out. Its a kit for a Mk2 Toyota MR2 to make it look like 'Eleanor' from the film 'Gone in 60 secs'. Aint it a beauty?

That Ogle-based thing is very nice. Wonder if my wife would notice if I pinched her Mini as a donor...

She would probably notice, but then again once built she would probably marry you again!
Loving the Ogle McGigger, the elanor MR2 looks like some sort of deep sea fish?

I think she'd be well chuffed, till she checked your Visa card statement, at which point the chuggafe would quickly evaporate!

That's the best looking Mini design I've seen. I've not been witness to one before. Looks brilliant!

that mr2 could me semi-ok with an angle grinder to most of the front end and a few tubs of filler, and removing the crappy spoiler and alloys.
