Haha..

So yes...i cut my treasured mini up today :shock:

All looks good though, and i'll clean it up once all done, good news is that the frame fits and it's a big hurdle out of the way :)

Mmm..bits of metal :lol:

Some cutting here:

Bit of cutting there:

In goes the frame:

Now to mount the engine it, mount the hubs and measure the length for the shafts..then send the frame off for powdercoating while i clean up the engine bay :)
