Just found this thread and its not as if I've been anywhere!
Fantastic stuff. I'm sure there are lot of forum members like myself who's 1st car was an old mini, so to combine the 2 cars I have the most passion for gets a huge from me.
Can't wait to see the finished project, get it on the London to Brighton mini run

Step away from the body kit (pleeeesase?)
IMHO the more "Mini" it looks the better! If you could pull off the blue mini looks and even squeeze it in under the non clubman front end (big ask I know) it would look great.
Now, if you could just bend space and time a little ....
