Same goes for the single bolts, could do an surcharge/ part-ex on a standard subframe so it would be cheaper for you.

[Down&Out]

Probably could, would have to see nearer the time what im putting it in, as you're 4 hours away and it'd have to be a courier job.

[Awamckay]

True, logistics may be an issue. Well jopefully i'll be in the traders section soon so you can keep an eye out there.

any pictures of your work on frames so far mate?

[Awamckay]

not on my phone, my k-series build diary is in my signature, that was my first frame in 2004 while learning to weld, lol.

Before you sell any its probably worth looking into insurance etc
It would be nice to see another frame available though.

[Awamckay]

Covered by my trade indurance for up to sone think silly luke £500,000 indemnity or sonething like that.

[TopGearRules]

I would be interested in this too... I'll keep on my eye out of this topic! I've always wanted to do a micra engine swap, I really want a reliable everyday mini!!

[Awamckay]

Just a quick update: i have now been upgraded to a trader on here, so as soon as i get chance to mock up a demo frame for people to see i will get a post up in the traders section. I will also accept critizism and suggestions on frames and parts ;)

Add me as a very interested party. Really like the idea of getting all the bits including drive shafts from one point of contact.

[alex-95]

I could be ineterested.

[slack]

another interested. For me the problem are the drive shafts. if you make the drive shafts and sell like a convertion kit, you will sell a lot of kits.

[Awamckay]

I have an engineering form willing to them for me if i order 10 pairs, i have some money to invest in this venture so will get them ordered once i finalize frame design in the new year.

Thankyou all for all you support and interest so far :)

I'd be very interested too. I've been considering shipping a kit from Trinidad. If I could get a frame, shafts, alternator mount and a servo relocation bracket over here I'd pay over £500.00. Ideally I'd want it to be an install with no body mods at all, using the full injection system and I think the Micra setup at the moment is the closest to that. I might still go Suzuki Swift though, the power from the Swift GTi is good and the oil filter is just in the wrong place on the Micra engine!

[Awamckay]

As i said the only body mod is a half moon dent in the bulkhead for the injection system. I will look into servo relocation as i ran no servo in mine, lol.
