Hi all,

Im new to this forum and the whole project mini scene so please be gentle,lol.

Ive been drewling over the whole zcars idea for years and dew to recent changes in my life ive thought F it lets go for it!

So ive recently purchased a fine yellow clubman and hoping to do a Busa conversion. This wont be happening overnight so please bare with me.

So far ive stripped the whole interior out rear subframe and dropped the engine and front subframe out abit gutted that id probably be better off with a sive but its a mini and panels are nice and easy to come by,lol.

Ill hopefully have some pictures up soon so please dont be shy and have a yap.

Cheers Alan

I have welded plenty of rusty mini's but I have never seen a hole in the rear bench like that! lol. The rest looks like standard mini places though mate so should be off to good start once the panels arrive.
Have fun
