After seeing 1000s of different ideas for the Mini, I was wondering if anyone had seen pictures or know of a completed project of a 4WD Mini..?

I am thinking something along the lines of a Mini shell/body on a Suzuki Sierra frame/componentry...

Any ideas or comments..??

check "project scorpion" in Mini Mods, haven't had much to update it with lately - I'm building AWD with honda civic awd running gear right now - it's legal, my engineer checked legalities and is all on board
