Amazing work, please tell you are keeping it raw carbon, it would be crime to paint it!

[jonasbgolf]

That is one jaw-dropping mini.

I totally agree.. All that carbon is P.O.R.N.!

After spending 6 months in the garage welding cutting and grinding my little mini we ended up with this.

All the carbon on this is lovely but what intrigues me most is the brace bars. The first pic above shows the off side fitted but not the near side, the second pic shows neither fitted. Are there any issues with bracing the front of the subby the way? Any probs with fowling other parts, rad etc?

Ace project I cannot wait to see the rest of this

Thats amazing. I want to befriend someone in the carbon fibre world!

[jonny-b]

Truly in aw of his build, its going to be some serious machine!

Love the carbon!

I have a similar plan in mind for my mini including the the boot floor, roof skin, bumpers etc...

Keep up the good work.

oh dude, this is AWESOME. Especially the engine cover and the dashboard are SOOOOOOOOO nice!! u made all of this carbon or bought anything?

[meetthespeakers]

Really diggin the way everything has turned out thus far. The valve cover looks really great, I am also curious where you picked up that nifty piece. Also, I noticed that you used a blank cover for your flywheel cover where the "separator/breather" would go. I have been trying to figure out exactly what the stock piece does, and if you actually really need it. Cheers, looking good.

i really like the way that this looks. it looks very well built and i like the overload of carbon.
i didnt know that having a flip front was as simple as cutting the front steelwork off ... so its only those 2 braces that are needed?
might have to look into that if my front gets rotten enough

keep us up to date please mate?

[ferrox_666]

Meetthespeakers: I think it is a viewing hole to see timing marks on the flywheel?
The breather fits to the breather hole, just under the engine steady.. lol

, now that I took another look at it I noticed it. I will go crawl in my corner again. None the less, where did the rocker come from, what a great piece!

Fu*k me i thought i loverd Carbon Fiber, but this just takes it to the next level.

This really is pure sex and you have by far some of the best things i have ever seen made for a mini.

Would you be able to make any more exposed weve front ends and door skins?
