hi there peeps, im building a track day weapon and thought you lot may appreciate a few pics of the beast.
it has ford cosworth engine gearbox diff rear arms the only thing mini is the shell.

 

SWEET!

 

thats madness!! isit 4wd or 2wd ? surely it would just spin around, spot on effort tho...

 

im sold! going to be fun.

 

How good does that look top work mate

 

sweet jesus you are mad!

 

the ultimate sleeper, lol

 

youre going to need a wheelie bar...............AWESOME

 

awsome mate would love something like that good luck with the build

 

thats looks the bolox mate nice one

got any more pics of the radiator mounts,attemtion to detail looks spot on

 

Cool, start a thread in the restorations + rebuilds section, would love to see this progress

 

that things going to be mentall ha ha love it

 

wow that would be awesome toy!

 

cool wot rear set up are you using

 

awesome!

 

thanks for the comments lads, cant wait till its done
this is the rear setup. back discs are mondeo st fronts with hispec rear handbrake calipers.



front setup hispec calipers m16 with blisten group four escort rally struts cortina hubs.



this is where im at now putting it together for the last time now i hope.

 

im using the t5 box with standard rear diff thought about using escort cosworth 4wd set and was advised that the wheel base was to small and would be no better than 2wd, and not as much fun anyway.

 

Will soon be ready to get the engine reconditioned does anybody recommend a company to do the work for me.
It needs a strong standard rebuild but needs to look mint too and not to expensive.
Gonna need an ecu and loom too want a running engine I can just slot in without to much messing about.

 

wow looks really good..very interested.. keep postin the pics!!

xx

 

awesome mate! i'd imagine a standard engine, or even stage 1 will be ballistic in that thing!

 

ive never seen it done before which is hard in the ford scene.

Looks amazing and will be rapid.

Wheres woolpit lol.

 

where's woolpit how dare u!
It's the centre of the universe ha!
Suffolk near bury st Edmunds thanx for the comments peeps.

 

Unless it's the same one that cropped up a few weeks ago (there's a lot less rust to be fair, so maybe not the same one), there's already one in progress...

 

I haven't seen or heard of anybody doing one before.
Is there one on this forum? Would be intresting to see.

 

1 word " MINT"

 

carnt belive the rear beam fits under the mini , not as wide as you think

 

never thought i would see a cossie lump in a mini,


cheers james

 

thers another guy building one, there both as crazy as each other lol there going to be ..abit rapid to say the least
although the other guy has chopped a sapphire up and welded the trimmed floor pan in.

 

It doesn't fit. It was shortend and arm brackets welded back on right for rear track width.
Arms are made thinner too.

 

That will be me then!! (for which i got duly slated for!)

Very interested in the build - as we do seem to be going down different routes as ive opted for 4x4.

 

Is that mini on this forum?
Where? Would like to chat.

 

thats why it fits then, have you made it adjustable?

 

top project it will be like a cart on the road.cool

 

As mad as hats and very very impressive!

 

no not adjustable ride height is though.

 

Thats very cool

 

does anybody know of a company in the suffolk area who could rebuild my cossy lump for the right price?

 

SCS in peterborough one of best cossie people in the country.....see j1mbo on here he works there n his dad owns it...i'd say there close enough to you and they aint bad at building they old cossie lumps ha ha

 

That is mad mate, Love IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
