Reminiscent of a R5 turbo2...looks great!

 

BLINDING JOB MATE CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE FINISHED ITEM

 

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

 

it will be at a lot of shows next year hopefully well thats the plan anyway, but i say one thing it is not a show car it is being built to be used and it most def will be used lol on the road and track that is the plan

Alex

 

Just for a second I thought you'd actually fitted that kit

Please don't please tell me you're going to stay faithful to the round arch look

 

i am not fully sure i am worried it will end up looking more like this than my original pic this one is running 14 inch wheels where as i will be running 16 inch so not sure and it is a one off only kit it will be tweeked a lot too





Alex

 

Been busy on the new workshop at the house yesterday and today will stick a few pics up later but it is looking good all the lights are up and working new workbench installed and couple of new sockets to wire in then crack on with tidying and sorting then get a sealing coat of paint on the floor

Alex

 

that blue mini looks sick!!! love it

what's the details..............

 

Nice project mate

 

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 ....

 

good call, the more "Mini" the better .... I agrree.

My god what a cool project...

 

right the new floor paint arrived today for the workshop so the first coat has gone down onto the sealing paint so tomoz night i will get another coat on then saturday move all the kit down from th eold workshop will be great to be in a non drafty non dusty workshop at home, cheers for the great comments guys i need to perhaps get some test arches to try maybe

 

really enjoying this, class project, keep it up

 

As long as they're round ones

 

This looks great mate, like everyone watching this thread I'm really looking forward to seeing the finished car! Any idea as to how long it will take to finish?

Good luck matey!

 

all arches are round, just depends how round

 

Mini has landed at home shed loads of sorting to do still got to tidy last bits of rubbish from old workshop, and sort everything out in the new workshop
so tomorrow will be a busy day pics and maybe a vid to follow

 

yes alex, i need some more pics in my life! lol

 

Antone know what i would need to do to get this into time attack series

cheers

 

Finish it

 

Round as in mini round not square as in Audi Quattro square

 

There must be some regs

will have to see practicalities point to the kit and retro is in, it will be changed heavily more sprint style than blended in

 

Fantastic Read. :-)
