Nice! 
I wonder how you have this homologated in Switzerland? Don't you have even stricter legislation regarding modifications?

Yes I am a nerd: I am researching the Austrian Mini-racing scene of the 60s and 70s

Re: 62 Austin Seven Cooper 8 Port
Those metalwork maestros Doc Mabo and Andy 1967 would have both parts of that boot lid fabricated, fixed and painted in the blink of an eye........
Re: 62 Austin Seven Cooper 8 Port
How will you be going about lightening that lid? Put in dimpled lightening holes and replace the outer skin with an alloy one?

Re: 62 Austin Seven Cooper 8 Port
That's exactly the plan.
I will blast it tomorrow, then my friend will fix the rust.
Next step will be to drill holes and dimple them. I already did some prototypes...
And finally it will recieve a nice Alloy Skin i just unwrapped this evening. (Thank you Minispares)

Re: 62 Austin Seven Cooper 8 Port
Sounds surprisingly different to a 7 port with one Weber, almost like a BDA.mk1 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 28, 2022 8:37 am Video as promised.

Re: 62 Austin Seven Cooper 8 Port
I think if you don't use a Frame, the whole thing is a bit wobbly and instable.
Without Frame it's also impossible to fit the locking mechanism...
