i looked into that idea useing a RSR sprint shell but when you add things up there quite expensive. but then i also recently found a minus for sale in thrapston So may be tempted again :grin: The other option i thought about was a rover t series turbo engine in the back of the minus. But think i'm gonna concentrate on the mk1 first

Whatever you do, don't put an R1 engine in a Minus!! It's errrrm really expensive and eeeerrrrm not very practical and errrm ummm I want to have the only one :grin: :tongue: :cheese:

Dont worry i wont. But still tempted by the minus. Spoke to RSR today bout them and if i buy the one i know maywell be roof chopping it :grin: Fot the ulra low look.

Why not just go for a sprint shell?

[Peskett]

As the minus i know is is really cheap and plus if i roof chop i minus it would be even lower than a sprint :grin:

I always thought a sprint was effectively a minus with a roof chop?? :nugget:

[Peskett]

the minus has more outta the body. thats why they have the buldge in the bonnet for the carb and the sprints dont. I maybe wrong but thats what i've been told. Think the minus has a 3"body chop and normal roof height and the sprint has about 1 1/2" body chop and 1 1/2" roof chop.

You could well be right I just have no idea.. :nugget:
