Dare I post this here??

[PhaseShift]

OK, I am about to start a new project.

Pro touring car? I suppose.... Typical of the cars on this forum? No, not even close.


I am going to take a British car, toss the motor, strip it down, hollow it out and tube frame the thing; perhaps in aluminum. Add some composites here and there and a few machined goodies plus all new bright work, seals and trim and we will have a neat rolling chassis.

Plug in a very slick DOHC / EFI turbo motor from Japan.

The car? Early 70's Mini.
The Motor? Very likely a Daihatsu L602 (with 4 speed auto trans and LSD)
The owner- This will be for my wife

Is anyone here even remotely interested in this? If so, I will post updates and so on....
