I'm building a RWD bike engined mini at present. First Mini so I'm new to this!
I am lucky enough to have a full workshop & tools etc... Working with Land rovers is my job but I fancy a change.
I won a half started project on ebay for £205! It's a Mini 30th Anniversary thats had a bit chopped out. Came with a half done cage, Front subframe, Front hubs, 3 wheels & tyres, V5, Panels, Seats, Steering Wheel, Dash etc... I have stripped it totally to start work and shall list some bits on ebay to further fund the project! - I'm hoping for 10 weeks as I've set some time aside for this.
After a fair bit of thought I've decided against Ducati power for my first build, due mainly to dukes not being the most reliable of bikes!
Instead I'm looking at Hayabusa engines but like the idea of a GSXR 1000 due to cost and very close power output. Thoughts?
So here goes! Pictures first of getting the shell / half done cage sorted out. Also putting the front subframe on a diet. Planning coil overs.
Any thoughts / Comments welcomed. I'm looking for advice on the rear end especially - Places for lining frame up, Engine mounting, Rear wishbones etc....
Cheers!!!!
