Hi, I've been thinking for a while about putting the running gear from a Mazda mx5 into a mini and was wondering if this is possible and if someone has done it before? :)

Cheers for the replies, I'll have to look at the rx7 mini. Is it on here?
I'll have to have a play with a mx5 running gear to see if it is possible ;)
