Very much fibre glass. Shell was made by a company called "minitech" featured in mini world years ago(10 in fact). 1400cc engine, stage 4 head ,ultralite fly wheel, loads of racey stuff. Roll cage custom made to fit by saftey devices, only one seat and thats for me.

Is it going to be ready for the British Mini Showdown at avon raceway?

What are the dates?.

It would be nice to say yes but even with everything finished i then have a nightmare getting it registered.
The trouble with this project is i didn't have a donar car, So i've ended up using new parts. All fine so far but now it looks like it will have to go through a SVA test to be road legal. Not sure how the men in white coats will view my project!?. From what i've heard and read the SVA test is an MOT ON STEROIDS!!!.

Anyone out there have any experiance with SVA tests?
