Well, still chugging away on the car, but not as fast as I'd like. It's taking some time to re-figure everything- as I add the cage to stiffen her up: seating position, pedals, steering, exhaust.

Just thought you might like some update pics...

 

that thing is so damn awesome. when u finish, u gotta take that thing on the power tour so i can check it out. what is ur rear suspension setup? im guessing triangulated 4 link

 

Ryan, Saw your car at the open house (you were busy with a client). I've been meaning to call and tell you how nice it looks and what a good job your doing. Keep up the good work!!

 

 

thanks Darrin- I'm tryin' but I don't have all the fabrication skills yet really needed do whip the car out quickly- first time doing a lot of this stuff so it's trial and error. The first cage I put in I cut out cause I wasn't happy with it (that was depressing). Luckily, there's a lot of people around here that have done this stuff before and can point me in the right direction. No kits / instructions for this one! (the camaro was soooo easy). The sheetmetal and wiring will be a load of fun.

The rear suspension is a 4 link with a watts linkage. here's a pic...

 

that is one bad *** mini

 

damm! man thats sick. that thing is gonna lay down rubber for miles, how big r the tires in the rear? awsome project man.

 

One hell of a time shoulder checking! hahah Looks sick!

nice you need to make a vid

 

Honestly scary

 

aw, thats the cutest mini ever!

 

Oh My Lord!

 

That kicks ***!

 

I see toasty feet in your future...

 

I so love this project... its just remarkable. its understandable it is taking you a long time, its obvious you want it done right. the progress thus far is still impressive for one dude, I cant wait to see it drive and pics of it on the road, people are going to go bonkers over that little beast! good luck on the sheetmetal work and getting it on the road asap.

just wicked cool...

 

wow...now that is literally stuffing a big motor in a small car......

are you planning to road race the car?

Great work man.post up some video when you fire it up

 

Looks good.

 

outstanding work, can we see some pictures and info on the Anglia?

 

When I first read that, I though you said "its still not as fast as I would like". I was trying to figure what kind of insane person needed an LS1 in a mini to go faster.
