Hi All,
I just joined as I'm looking to start out manufacture of pannels for BMW first Gen Mini's.
I have a 2002 Cooper S (supercharged) that I am looking to do some panels for as I am building it to go racing, currently looking at making boot, bumper/bonnet (as a one piece with the bonnet), a-panels, doors, rear quarter panels, fenders/arches, air ducts, splitter, diffuser, dash, roof and boot floor. I'm also toying with the idea of making moulds using my windows as bucks and then custom fabricating polycarbonate windows.
The majority of stuff I make will be out of neccesity and if I get the technique nailed I am looking at releasing parts for sale to other Mini enthusiasts.
I've been considering this for a long time and am excited about starting but also anxious about getting it wrong, failing, wasting money due to ill preparation. I hope to be starting small projects to get started soon and then upscalling production fully from February next year.
Regards
Gary "Whitebits"
