Oh my thats quite a car!!!
Are you going to have your mini that wide!?!?
I can't wait to see some pics, are you going to have it in a standard sized front or extend it? or are you going to bring the bulkhead right back?

hi there,

are there any updates on this???? I would love to see any photos of it and how much cutting and fabricating is involved.

Is it a case of everything has been measured and double measured prior to starting, or is it, youve got the parts and they just need fitting!? (sounds simple enough doesnt it! lol)

Keep us all posted

Cheers for the update and will await any pictures you might have.

Youre right it would have been good in this weather, getting some drifting round corners would have been nice!

So how long do you think it will take for you to get it running?
