If you need any help building one let me know. I'm no expert, but the next one I would do a little different. It does help my vife dies upholstery.

So the hood is a cushion?

I was thinking of making one of these with the rear end I was going to make into a trailer ( I've abandoned that idea ) It would be a MkII, but not a Cooper ;-)... but then again, a MkII is indistinguishable from the rear from a MkIV
It would be a one seater, or a cozy two seater, and the tail lights would light ( not too brightly ).  Maybe make the ambers flash when I need a beer!

Thanks everyone for the positive support. I thought about trying to sell them,but parts and materials are a lot. This one still cost $300 and I had all the parts.

That's awesome, you should build those for customers.  Here's some pics I took last weekend at a new restoration shop some will be familiar with.
