Hey Rob. Looks like a great project. It's good to see you back building again.

I haven't decided how to build it yet, i'm just sorting through all the parts at the moment.

Great to see someone on here building a mini !!! Have you considered converting the kit into an early model mini ? It would look nice in this scale and would be unique ! I'm a big fan of anything mini and will be watching your build with great interest, build on !

That's a great kit! You're gonna have a lot of fun with that one.

Didn't Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson, a very funny guy) have a little yellow mini with a big padlock on the drivers's side door? I think I remember seeing that in one of his shows.

Interesting project Rob.........Hmmmmmmmmmmm, think you can shoe horn a small block Ford or Chevy in it? Maybe a turbo 4 banger :)'

How do you think a track day mini would look?

I saw a real one of these done in hot pink with a pink-and-white striped canopy top and wicker seats.

I was thinking of roll cage, colour coded minilites, race seats etc

You're bringing back memories with that Mini. I used to have one in the mid-nineties....double SU-carbs, hot cam, RC 40 exhaust, SPAX suspension and stainless steel panels in the interior, just to mention some of the goodies. Lord, it was a blast.
Looking forward to the built.

Cheers
