i'm exploring it. I've seen the wood kit, and know it's structural. The sheet metal including the roof all fasten to the wood. If anyone knows a shop in the greater NYC area that might do this job, I'll pass it on to the owner.  The only way I might do it is t & m, but dryfitting all the wood and sheet metal and then doing the build is the only way to do this.

You have to put it together twice.

Watch Wheeler Dealers on Youtube Series 10 Episode 6.
Mike and Ed (well, mostly just Ed China) redo a 1966 Morris Traveller.
A lot more involved than a Mini woodie.

I've got a client who's asked if I'd replace the wood on his traveller. It's a morris minor, not a a mini.  Anyone here done one and care to chat  on the phone about what goes wrong when trying to do the job?
