Nice Idea with the front de-seaming!!

I've never thought of removing the inner pillars to weld there!!

(you could also add some reinforcing plates in there as well?)

its been awhile, I have removed the subframe so that I can work on the back or front of the engine better, I have a few mods in production with an aim to give the bearings more life, fitted the exhaust which was cleaned up inside first.

I really like your build :) First I wanted to get an R1 engine as well, but restrictions here in Austria are just as strict so it's almost impossible to get a conversion like that approved. I'll be studying in Switzerland beginning this fall, maybe I'll see your Mini once, who knows ;)
