love the thread m8
recently sold my 2 minis and wondered what engines i could get in em but sold em before i started spending
will be watching this thread

 

Awesome, gonna need some serious archness to cover those wheels. When its finshed you can go show up some M3s on a track day

 

That's the plan lol gunna show up a lot people on track and on the road as it going to a road car too lol hello IVA should be fun

Nice project I started doing similar with a Mk1 Escort theres a thread on here somewhere. The main problem is how far the engine is infront of the front wheels and as a mini has next to no frontend overhang you may encounter some problems there.

 

looking great so far mate and hope you can pull it off as that will be some car when it's finished

 

Looks great. i like the manifold sticking below the bumper. chrome that up and it would look mean

 

mental i love it can just imagine it side on 4 wheels spinning at a hairpin, will be so cool.

 

well another busy day got the front end all trimmed and in position ready for welding have also checked it is all square so hopefully no crabbing heres a few pics











here is how far the wheel stick out the black mark at 7inches is for a bodykit that i am tempted by soon as i find a pic i will get one up what offset wheels would i need to fill the arches





cheers for all the comments guys
