i will post some early pics of the subframe with markings of the places that needed cuting

only one side needs to be removed the other just needed a small cut out for the front pully, the sump fits inside the subframe

I reckon this is a fantastic conversion, its a perfect fit because Paul did a top job on the installation.

It looks like it came out of the factory. :)

Good luck with the sale of this thing. Someone is going to get a great package. I don't believe one could buy a registered, mini powered, clubman van for the money that you are asking, let alone one that has undergone an engineered, engine conversion. The only thing preventing me from buying it is that $4k could finish mine.
