An innocent looking Series IIA truckcab would fit the bill nicely I reckon, once you've done the engine work! Then you can have fun replacing the gearbox, then the half-shafts, then the gearbox, then the rear diff, then the halfshafts, then the swivel pins, then the front diff, then the transfer box, then the gearbox, then the spring hangers, then the steering rack, then the freewheeling hubs, then the gearbox, and then finally rip it all out and drop it into a 90 ;)

feel free to put it into my viva, its what im planning to do some day anyway (or chevy).

its basically a 60's/70's ford (some people of the 'thick' variety call them vauxhall cortina's) but a lot cheaper (and cooler ;))

i know of one that needs saving if your interested, in kent, though i think the owner wants to gove it away to someone who'll keep it standard...

There was a v8 mini clubman around for years it was yellow front wheel drive using a princess gear box

not seen it since the imm in Norfolk when it was towing a trailer with a gazebo on with every one eating there food sat at a table

it was a top idea when mini shows where fun

My everyday car is a capri.. that was the plan, to put it in that!

But it seems like alot of hassle to do... i dont mind that but i'd have no car while i'm doing it!
