I can't give you a source for fibreglass frogeye rear ends, because I simpl

y do
not know of any company who makes them, although there are probably
plenty about.
I do know however that Paul Banham makes a 'Frogeye' replica kit, which is
=3D=0D
based on a mini 'donor' car and that the Frogeye outer fibreglass panels ar

e
exactly the same dimensions as the original Frogeye. It may be worth
contacting them and asking them if they would be willing to sell the Frogey

rear end separately and if so what the price is and how much it would cost

to
ship to the US.
Out of sheer curiosity, I looked up the price of some of the parts you woul

ala Frogeye rear end. The cost makes it somewhat uneconomical, as the two
rear wings are =A3200 each and the part that runs from the bottom of the bo

floor to the two side wings and to the back of the cockpit costs a whopping
