Hi Mate, welcome to the forum and congratulations on choosing to build a Z-cars Mini.
Before you start to cut out the floor, make sure you have the correct set of measurements as the early video without the Honda type -R supplement has the incorrect measurements but they have corrected this in the new edition of the video, if in doubt just ring Chris at z-cars.
What conversion are you doing? R1, Hayabusa or Honda type R?
Be prepared to spend £10,000 minimum.
Any other advice, just ask.
Ps we like loads of photos on here to show progress.


Cheers
