Another great update. I can't wait to see this finished, although I'll miss the videos.

This build is truly fantastic. Top fabrication skill and engineering guys. I am really hoping that the mini turns out fairly 'normal' looking at the end, and all credit to keeping a normal length round nose on it. Just one question in my mind, what are you going to do with the radiator?

Thanks very much. :-)

In truth, the radiators are a source of much discussion and thought. It's gonna be tight....

Another great build vid guys thanks for keeping us entertained. Stick them in the boot and offset the boot lid like they do on Cal look Vdubs




;-) might help with the weight distribution and running the hoses through the cab could help make it more cosy.

Argh, you just got my hopes up that there was a new episode.

This is almost as bad as that nazi tunnel thread smash
