How's that mini based? The engine is the wrong way round...

I've been after a new project for once the mini is done, but it needed to be cheep as I can't afford another weldathon - that pretty much discounts minis for me...

The general plan is to buy and break up an MGTF, then insert the running gear, engine, brakes, electrics etc etc into this.

Along the way I'm going to acquire some fibreglassing skills and try and sort out some of the more crap looking bits of body work - door surrounds are too square, the rear arches are wrong, the stupid front bonnet etc etc.

Once it's through the IVA, the world is my oyster. I'm thinking turboed K series with boost and traction control. Aim for some serious power. Probably no gaychargers either. *smiley*

By the time you get it finished it will need to be a hover car! So get used to seein it up in the air!

Told the wife I wouldn't do anything on this until I finish the mini, but a fuel tank has come up at the right money.



I plan to hack out the middle recessed area in the front of the tub once it has a subframe rather than an axle, so it should be possible to get it fairly close to the bulkhead and still have some luggage space. Hoping to get the tank modified to take the fuel pump unit from the MG TF donor car as it has an in build swirl pot and level sender.

By the looks of it with some reasonable fibreglass skill I think the front could be made to look good.

Agreed, if you take some of the squareness out of it and sort out the funny bonnet it will improve no end.
