good thing with mini's is you can buy any panel you want to replace and even buy a new shell in steel,fibreglass,fibreglass shell with spaceframe even a carbon shell all depends how big your wallet is and any engine any power you want.

z cars built a hayabusa turbo with more than 400 bhp 0-60 in less than 3 secs and the miglia race cars run 140+bhp from an A- series and do 0-60 in less than 4 secs and top 140 mph on a track and could be done as a road car what fun that would be beating most moden cars of the mark.
there is a 16 valve head of a motorbike that fits the A-series and can push out a reliable 180 bhp doesn't sound like much but mini's only weigh 600-700 kg's so power to weight is really good.

yep mini's are loads of fun there was a mini clubman estate for sale the other month with a 2 litre vtec turbo in it pushing 415bhp through the front wheel's think it would be a bit too much for fwd.

well it was the weekend got some more done.
Brake servo and master cylinder and clutch master cylinder have been removed and cleaned and painted primer under the bonnet.
Offside front floor has been cut out and a new floor pan has been fully seam welded on top and underneath plus got a section made for the roof just got to grind the weld's down and finish with a flap wheel and fill.
Front end has now been adjusted and fully seam welded. Every panel that has been repaired or replaced has been seam welded for strength unlike when new every panel was spot welded.
