I was going to put the pics up for you, but they're too big. Try resizing them before you load them.

try a width of 500 pixels.

I recon you have got your self in a project, But at least its somthing good to start with. Get your self a doner car, anything will do, just somthing complete, that you can salvage bits from. will cost you a million dollars if you buy each piece 1 by 1. Not to rusty i think.
Here is a pic of mini windowless pano

Doner car is a goos idea, its missing heaps of stuff like the speedo, raduator and mounts, gearstick and linkages, the engine is an 850 i'm not sure if i am going to use it yet i was wondering how it would go if i done it up a bit or should i just get a larger engine. I also want to put disc brakes on the front i hear that 1100 brakes are the way to go. I etill can't find much info on brak booster/ master cylinder setups, can anyone shed some light on that???

Put the car on stands, cover it up and walk away. Buy as many book's on the subject, internet sites etc and take your time before you waste money. :wink:

Good advice that. It's exactly what i am doing i thought some people that had some experience in playing with these cars might be able to help, i have no problem with the mechanical side of things on cars in general i am just interested in mini specific things since they are quite a unique vehicle. As with the body it just comes down to dollars and how perfect i want it.
