Minis don't have frames as such. Mini bodies are monocoque, they
are load-bearing. In the case of the mini, there are front and rear sub-
frames which hold the suspension and engine/transmission. The moke body
style is the same (although it is a little less stiff than a mini sedan).
All the fiberglass mini bodies work the same as the steel ones, they hold
the front and rear sub-frames together, and keep the occupants off the
terra-firma.
