I know, I know, another RWD conversion, but this one is a stark contrast to the mr2 one and deserves a look. http://turbosport.co.uk/showthread.php?t=136192 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. Madmorrie |

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. 
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

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. |

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. |
