Im going to completely contridict myself right now.
Im a mini person, had one before i could drive etc, and beleve a mini should have a mini engine in it.lol (could be stupid jut my thaughts)
But then again ive cut it all up and made it into a spaceframe, so there is just the outer (steel though ) shell.
Theory being minis rot for fun , so this one shouldnt and it will be allways somthing i will keep and its a one off.
Saying that ive had two escort cosworths and loved every second i owned them, cousin had a series one, and i used to use that more than him when i was 18 lol .
Am just on with trying to get another rs at the mo as there a passion of mine aswell.
