Starting fresh. Complete rebuild. Update 2/06/16
Turbo Mini Forums

Ayup all.

For those without instagram heres why I've been absent for some time now. Had an amazing time building this and getting about in it including a trip to worthesee, Austria.



And latest money pit is here too



Enough of that anyway, onto the mini.

Scrapped my old shell as it was shot it. Sold a fair few bits that I plan on changing.

Basically I'm into a complete mock build for this one. Body's been dropped 1 1/4 inch over the pan. Rear boot floor is custom home brew, built around a carbon weezel floor. Custom tubs and turrets.
Front shock mounts have been raised by around 2 inch and il be fitting full steel clubman front.

Not alot to look at yet but hopefully il get some decent progress over the next few months, and hoping that starting my new build thread will help to motivat me.

Sweet, good to see you back mate.

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

RS6! NICE!!!

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

nice collection!

Frig that looks the nuts. What have you done with the front to get it to run as low as that?

Any link to a thread on the RS6?
I take it that it isn't standard?

Welcome back! Carl told me you was still at it when he collected that roof off you! Are you sticking with the clubby front again?

They don't die, they just get faster!

Been waiting for this.

It is staying clubby yes. Got brand new inner wings for it too

You have some fucking cool toys, matey. I love that camper, and the mini looks great too.

Awesome.

Good workshop by the looks of it too!

About time dude, good to see some progress!

Glad the wheels were kept!

Watched the build of the camper on insta, along with the old square back. Brilliant work and keep it up .

Searching is all you need on TurboMinis

Did you drop (raise should i say) the front bulkhead with the floor? I've done a similar thing to you, but wish i'd done the front bulkhead at the same time when it was all braced.. could have kept decent geometry on a obscenely low car then.

Aha.. this must be the one i was told to look at on here..

Mini wise thats gonna look awesome sat like that!! Its going to have a few people puzzled.. i wanted to do the same as you with the floor of my clubman but its too mint to chop about.. but i shall do it to another shell i have got.. as well as a mild sprint to the shell too, i got the idea from the whole vw/hot rod scene.. is this where you got the idea from too? As asked above did u raise the whole bulkhead/toe board or chop it?

Sorry was talking about the mini, was trying to work out if you had lifted the crossmember.

Bus also looks awesome, think i remember it from UD last year?

Good to see you're still cracking at it mate, still haven't done anything on mine, just collecting parts as usual!

You didn't get the bay off a bloke called Darren did you? Im sure I have seen it somewhere before

I didn't callum no. Il put a picture of how it was when I brought it soon.

The mini body drop was basically me sat staring at it with a cuppa and thought this could work so cut at it.

Not going to run a crossmember as such going to incorporate them with my seat braces
