Hay guys ive got a 1987 mini city e and i am in 2 minds to put a honda lump in the car as im doing a restoration the in my garage and think if its stripped out why not try it .
the problm im haveing is that i dont have a list of what i would need to do it
i know i would need a subframe engine etc however if you guys have done it. it would be nice to point me in the rite direction
i also have a mini clubman flip front end if that helps.
If you guys could give a list of what ide need it would be much apreciated . Ile be doing all the work my self aswell.
thanks again

There's a whole section on Honda builds.
Try the 16v mini club forum too!

Keniwatson1,
I've been reading project ect for over a year and I'm only now "almost" ready to start my build.

Kam's 'Rio-tec' build over on 16v is probably one of the most intensive builds I have seen and was done by a guy with not a lot of experience working on cars. Definitely worth a read in my opinion.

 

Buy a complete donor car as well. Not just parts. I wish I had done this with my Vauxhall build.

And it looks fairly standard on the outside.
