Looking good, there is a miglia rep that goes to riv run most years maybe some insperation as its road legal, have a search for riv run, I have a post somewhere with a pic or two of it.

So plans are stripped interior, cage, mig arches 10" wheels, turbo engine or nat asp?

Drives
-Ford S-max Mk2 Ecoboost
-Rover 100 VVC #2 - track project

Searching is all you need on TurboMinis

Personally I wouldn't recommend curley stuff. Never buy exposed weave carbon from him as it just goes milky!
