Re: Tom's refurb
hi, i have used 5mm for the floor.I also have 3mm to make inner walls and 2mm flat for my outer skin. I think 3mm probably would have been alright now that i have welded in some extra box for support

Blimey... the "official" new name for your Scamp project is..Tank ! .......
I've just checked and as-built "body" panels are 1/16" or 1.6mm......having said that, my floor panel is likely to be considerably thicker too

Re: Tom's refurb
After a tree root came through the (admittedly rusty) steel toe board on my Mk1, during the subsequent rebuild I replaced most of it with 10 gauge. The bonnet and a couple of replacement ali panels are 2mm. The rest, including the floor, are original. No problems so far.

I still have the remains of the stuff I used on K in the bottom of the garage.

Anybody would think it was 10yrs ago!

Re: Tom's refurb
10 years was certainly a long time ago.
10 years on and the Monster is still king! If competition improves the breed then surely someone in the Scamp club has got have a go at moving the game forward in the next few years.
So what's next? K-series? BMW Mini? the mother of all A-series?
