Hi All,
I am wanting to form a small group of Victorian mini enthusiasts to undertake a group starlet to mini engine conversion; I don?t have any metal fabrication skills but have excellent family connections with both automotive trimming and painting. If this group gets organised I am anticipating design, fabrication, and engineering costs will be kept down.

Please post if you are interested in joining me, or if you have information and services that could help the build.

ConstableMini:
Car of choice will be a clubbie (roundie would be too much trouble)
Subframe builder, engineer, and engine importer will be chosen by the group.
Starting date will also be worked out after decisions on the above are made.

I am a Victorian and proud of it

Melbourne's a BIG place midget....you can still live in Melbourne and be two hours away from me.

Unless, of course, you truly are in "Melbourne"....in the CBD!

Hi Peddro, I live about 15 minutes north of the CBD and work in South Melbourne.

This forum is also open to people who would like to offer their paid services for help in completing the project.

yeah i could be interested in it aswell.. im just 15 mins from cbd..elwood.
i have metal fabrication skills and a equiped workshop, but we are really busy right now. ive been keen on the conversion for a while just waiting for the right time.
i can also do upholstery, i did the interior for my car and others.
at work we have pipe benders and every type of welding machines you could imagine.
we also have engineers at work, trouble is we are in the busy season so i havnt had time to much around with the mini but ill help out any way i can

Hi everyone, I'm also interested, because I had that engine for 1/2 yr already but I couldn't find any can fabricate a subframe and also an engineer willing to take this project. I was thinking to send it to Mr.Enforcer.

I'm from Doncaster, Melbourne

I forgot to mention that my shell is a roundi.

Hey guys has this died in the arse or is it still looking like a goer. I would like to also do the conversion with a roundy so if its still alive can somebody PM me Thanks
