Perhaps he is using the rear screen so the cage can be built into the A pillar.

Yeah those A pillars look a lot fatter don't they. Maybe it runs a Porsche rear engine assembly like a GT3, now that would go...

Hehe... more sheep....

But interesting thought. Im imagining cutting a mini in half down the middle. Widened subframes too? Widened front grille?

Exactly. The fan or original demister would be gone to save weight, and this weighs less than the original windscreen too.
