I know, I know, another RWD conversion, but this one is a stark contrast to the mr2 one and deserves a look.

Some of this is pure artistry, I only wish I could do stuff half this good.
Beware you will need at least a half-hour to look through this one.

Wow, he's putting a lot of effort into that. Not sure if I'd want to be driving something that will obviously go like the clappers, with cut and welded steering and suspension parts. :shock: :shock: :shock:

But hey, that's just me.

Now if you put that much time and effort into a Mini in its normal configuration, what a car you could end up with, even with a FWD Jap transplant. Oh, Tricky's already doing just that :D

Thats' a crazy amount of time and money to spend on a car.

Oh to have the tools that dude has, and the ability to use them.

I like the attention to detail in grinding the excess castings off the hubs.
Every bit of weight matters in a car like this.

Just one comment I would like to make, I always get a professional (certified) welder to finish weld any suspension / steering parts I have made


That project isn't that impressive. All he has is:
(a) Talent
(b) Money
(c) Time
(d) Vision.

If I had all those things, I could do the same. As it is, I have none.
