Well i gone and got myself a project now, She/He is a 1979 Mini Clubman, haven't decided on it's gender just yet,, depends how akward or nice it is to work on, lol. At the minute it sits on 10" Mamba's, fibreglass flip front, not too sure on the arch kit (but looks quite good, has all glass and rubber seals, a couple of really good doors, and i'm feeling quite positive too, gonna spend a few days clearing out all parts that havfe come with it, then i will have a better idea of where i stand, looking forward to getting started tho, watch this space................ ;D

cheers ryan, gonna need parts if anyone got bits let me know, i thinking of a rear beam axle next as subframe is nearly shot, but bodwork looking quite good so far, just gutting interior out a little more to check it all out, then a respray and rebuild again, fun fun, might put in a rear cage too for a litle more strength, actually looking forward to this build yay

lol, shud be a problem, will drag car to mates house n use his ramps to fit it on, but it seems as dear to get a decent rear subframe as it is for a rear beam with coil overs, and it shud handle better and be slightly comfier too, but loking forward to more mini days, i think i been missing it lots
