I have had a little mini designer for a few years now not really done anything with it I seem to have all the trim minus the left hand side length :(. Currently setting up to restore I would like to keep the car pretty much as it is. However I would like to upgrade certain parts I am currently thinking vtec upgrade b18c variant (prob the 6) however I don't want to cut the frame so I will probably put my sensible head on and maintain her as a classic... UNLESS there are any frames that allow me to do this with out mods to the frame.. if this fails I have a brand new factory sealed engine for the old girl that will get put in.
Is there any conversion frames that people know of that I can keep the frame intact ? She is rusty in the normal places so quite a way off committing. I am settle that I want the old frame with newer tech underneath hidden away however,
Alot of old information but not much new, that I can find most stuff seems to be 2005-2015 era any advice or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
My first post so hello to all I may have caught the mini bug.
