I've not built a Minus, but I have built a Domino Pimlico (GRP shell).
This like the Minus uses the standard front and rear subframes, using
the standard mountings.  There is no metal reinforcement at the mounting
points, and the only metal strengthening in the shell is for the
roll-over hoop.  The first one I built did over 100,000 miles with no
body problems.

There were no build instructions, but if you're used to a metal Mini
then it's obvious how everything fits.
