Well, a few guys have bought my Twinky kits to fit onto their minors & sprites & i`ve just had a couple of them bell me letting me know how pleased they are with both the quallity of the kit & my comunications with them regarding fitment, even tho they havn`t got thei build buides yet they`re well under way with the conversion & it was so good to hear what they had to say,,, it`s made me feel a big chunk happier than i did the other day with that last fella harrassing me

I`ll keep you all informed of their progress & hope to have some pics up in a couple of months ,,, I`m actually a little surprised because i really didn`t think much about the fitment to rwd applications but obviously they have seen & understood the beauty of the bimmers cyl head also

Way cool & can`t wait to see the results :-)

excellent - twin cam 948cc minor! :D

I remember probably 17 years ago when dad's Morris Minor friends started talking about these BMW heads - it was just a dream back then... :cry:

Well Matt the kit looks great and its a credit to you,seems some people have no idea how much work it takes to do what you have done, I have had people ask me to build them a subframe for vtec and for that reason I have said no, plus all the legal stuff because its a major part of the car.
Keep up the fantastic work.

mini regards

I'd still prefer a 1.4 or 1.6L Datsun engine and box if I had a Morris 1000.....or bigger :twisted: .

Just out of interest - is that a TF rodeo chassis?

Post subject: 
no, it's a Daihatsu Feroza chassis, floor and firewall with the 202 solid mounted in and RWD. I wanted to use the Feroza running gear so it was 4x4 but my brother sold the parts on me :evil: so we had to use the Holden engine and box.
