Update
Hi all haven't updated lately because I've been doing little bits all the things that take time but dont look much, fuel lines, battery cable, fixing up ecu, routing wires etc.
Also started the dash
also heat wrapped the exhaust and got it fitted back on.
next time hope to finish all underside of the car so should be back on it's wheel for the first time in a year or so

It took about six months for him to build, the fab work is spot on though.
that's how it started life, I decided everything else was cossy so why not the engine also better chance of getting the power I wanted.
It's taken me three years since I got the shell back now starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel

Fantastic work mate
Very well built with alot of attention to detail
My brother in law is building one at the moment although it's very early days yet,
He also built the mid engined cossie cincquecento (sp) and the cossie
Powered e36 BMW and the rwd supra escort van both of which he still has,
I've pointed him in the direction of this thread for reference to his mini cossie

Great brother in law you've got he's made some fantastics cars too. Does he know what route he's taking yet? 2wd 4wd making his own floor pan or using one from a car etc.
Thiers a mini on with a shortend sierra floor pan 4wd to I think.
