Drop gears, ultra light flywheel, clutch cover, clutch, back plate and a few little bits & bobs. I need to get some new pics sorted out but these are what i have at the moment.
Hopefully it will be up and running by late August, going to go megajolt on it too.

Looks the bollocks 
Whats the planned engine spec?!
Edit : just seen your going megajolt!! Who you getting it from?
AlexF on here deals in it.. IF I keep to my turbo plan, I'll be going
Low c/r head, stock Mpi bottom end, T2 turbo, Mirage manifold kit, cossie 2wd cooler + custom pipwork, coilpack, megajolt ecu, oil cooler, metro turbo carb/inlet and run about 10 psi!
Will keep standard box, until i can afford a decent one

Will be getting it from AlexF, just need to get the pulley & sensor bracket sorted out for the edis kit. It's a metro turbo engine, got the head with 29cc chambers, 3 angled valve seats, light port & polish, converted to unleaded & painted for free from my brothers work.
Going cossie intercooler, front mount rad (undecided on type yet) Metro t3 turbo & probably a few other bits that i'll end up doing no doubt. I'm not after silly power, but i know i'll want more once it's running.
Wish the gear boxes were cheaper & not part of the engine setup. Hoping not to blow it up lol. Just going straight cut drops, cross pin diff with the ultra light flywheel, lightened steel back plate, ap race plate & a grey diaghram.

Front mount rad! I have one, as My engine is a Mpi.. Where do you plan on sticking the cossie cooler?! As the alternator is in the way
Im not after silly power.. 120/140 will be fine

I've seen a few pics on the turbo minis forum running front mounts and cossie intercoolers.
It's a squeeze but it would be rude not to do it with the extra room of the clubman front.
Those power figures are all i'm after too. There's not a lot of weight in the car so it should make it interesting at that power

They are from mini spares.
http://www.minispares.com/Product.aspx?pid=34526
I have one in the garage among all the other bits, they do come up on ebay from time to time but go for near the same price as a new one typically.

Thanks CC! No plans to do anything run-wise with it at the mo, just getting it through the MOT to get back on the road is a trial 
Yeah I'm still running with the standard rear seats. It's never going to be a screamer so couldn't be doing with the weight saving etc. Besides, I like the look!

Yep, no probs at all fitment-wise leaving the rear bench in with having the cage.
Might have to attempt the L2B at some point - when it's at least proved it can get to work and back without breaking down!!
