It wouldn't really be a van after that, just a weird looking stretched saloon van. :saywhat:
I dread to hear your plans for this vehicle of yours, but no doubt you'll be having a bit engine in it? Under the bonnet of round noses arn't that big!

But it could end up being a great project if you really want to try. There aren't many good vans around to do this with, so you'd probably need to do a lot of repairs to any van you did find before you even start.

A Mini is alot off hard work, and hard earned money for that reason, not just a little car that anything can be done with, inexpensively.
If you have big plans for such a Mini, then go for them. Just don't be expecting a cheap way around anything! If it's really what you want, then keep the idea in mind, and after a few years once the project is completed, it will be a pleasure to own.

Its true about how much stuff costs, I've spent (excluding car + insurance) £571 on my car, and its no even a third of the way done yet.
My main advice to you is to learn more about how cars work in general, how much things cost and try and learn some of the skills you will need to accomplish the things you want to do.
Oh and (no offenece intended) get some taste. Saloon back end on a van! Are you having a laugh? 18s on any small car, let alone a mini look daft and gives you some unsprung masses that are far too heavy, causing all sorts of problems. Don't get railroaded into thinking that bigger rims are nessesscarily better by the Max Power boys and that cutting edge, plastic bodykits always look good, when most of the time they look awful, worse in a few years(voice of experience, I used to think like that too, shock horror).
I think there is a true enthusiast in you though, just need to mature a bit!

and i kind of admire how max power can get their everyday hatches to go quick!
I couldn't tell if you were being serious here or not, but 9 out of the 10 cars in max power have about 2 typical low key engine mods, - Ecotek valve, and a K & N filter... These do not make the cars go quick at all.. They are all usually standard 1.0, 1.1, 1.3, that are actually made slower due to all the weight of the bodykits!
You do get the random seriously modified car with engine mods in there sometimes, but usually the engine, gearbox, and suspension is kept standard!
