Been meaning to start a project thread for donkeys and finally have a few spare minutes to start one!

Spec:

C16XE engine
Yamaha R1 carbs
Megajolt
Full Safety Devices rollcage
Fibreglass bonnet
Removable steel front
13x7 Superlights
Yokohama A539 tyres
Gaz shocks
Rear springs to replace doughnuts
Rover Tomcat leather seats
Matching doorcards and rear seat

Not done much so far. Just replaced the rear lights with new lenses and installed some fresh safety devices rollcage stickers. Future plans currently being mulled over in a thread that I've started in the 'styling' section.

Very nice. The C16 fits lovely in the clubman front if you know what I mean? What subframe and radiator have you used?

[deanymini]

Yeah, it's as snug as a bug in a rug. The subframe is an Allspeed one and a Corsa GSi radiator is being used. I think the radiator is a bit over-kill in all honesty. Hopefully, the Clubman will be on display at Bingley Hall this January.

I'll look forward to seeing it there!

[hoody99]

Look foreword to seeing it also

[hoody99]

Was it there I never seen it but there was a lot of shiny things distracting me

[deanymini]

Yeah, it was there. It was in the Clubman section at the back. I'll post a pic.

Quick update:

A big thanks to creakyjaws5533 for the bullet mirrors. I painted them metallic black and think they look ace. One other thing I did was to paint the front badge red to fit in with my new colour scheme.

Next stop:

Paint the wheel spokes black and polish the rim
Paint the roof black
Fit a KOSO speedo/tacho/fuel/temp system into the dashboard

I love your mini. Prefer VX conversions to Honda
