The chassis is a shortened Sylva Mojo chassis (kit car chassis)
I've welded a mini roll-cage over the top.
the body has 5" chopped out of floor.
the front end is 90mm longer, the wheelbase is 80mm longer than standard.

I love the Mojo as a car in it's own right, but using it with a Mini shell over the top is pure genius! I guess using the Mojo, you have the option of all the Zetec ford engines, plus Honda and K series. Obviously using Ford fiesta hubs and shafts. Might consider doing that to my Smart!!! More progress and pix please?

Finally got back onto the MiniMojo!
Just fitted the rear alloy uprights!
They look the dogs!
The alloy uprights pull the hubs in further and the rear spats now fit!

The plywood is just a template before you all point it out!
Have since cut 3mm steel plate to weld in, then bolt in the brake and clutch pedals.
Going to have a go at making my own accelerator pedal, i've already got the long accelerator cable from car builders solutions
