thought i would get some pics up of my mates sprint as he doesnt have net access at the minute. he converted the shell to his own sprint spec which i think is 3 inches top and bottom (3 inches from the posts and 3 from the waist of the mini) it also has a full welded in cage that he made himself, as well as his own design front subframe to hold the r1 engine.

i really am in love with the car myself, and have to say im gutted that he is talking about selling it, hope you guys like anyway

WOW, cant start to imagine how difficult and time consuming it is to convert a shell into a sprint!
