Yes have a few pics, bought it of ebay a couple of years ago from Endaf, did't really do that much to it then sold it on due to having too many projects

16V project underway

I got in touch with Endaf when I had it. He told me he was going to rent it out as a ready to run 7 but the engine that was in it didn't have enough power to pull the skin of school custard. And that he then sold it for the above reason Tim mentions.

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

Oli, I'm sure you will give it a whole new history!

I like the rear beam. I'm currently doing something similar.

In the 13's at last!.. Just

looking good oli, and no sign of your skills with photoshop.

should be a fun mini when finished

What the mind can conceive the mini can achieve
MITP 2012 17.01 seconds 1/4 mile against "The Don"
MITP 2013 16.83 seconds 1/4 mile

Good effort.

Looking good mate, have you by any chance weighed your front subframe?

Yes i moved to the darkside

Instagram @jdm_brett

Its never been off the car brett, tbh its only half finished. I will weigh it when it comes off and is all welded up bare subby only

mine came out at 28KG inc all engine mounts and stabilizers

and i make it approx 10KG heavier than the stock completely bare subframe
still may add bits on to it yet though but i dont think thats bad at all, the strength of it is ridiculous just need to see if it holds up to pot holes hahahaha

Yes i moved to the darkside
