I think I used to have a thread on there but not been on in ages, a lot of really rough builds on there, but also a few nice ones

Yeah front end is 2 piece and will be held on with pins

Ah I see. Yeah lots on there! Nice yellow one up for sale atm if only I had the space and the money!

Cool makes sense that way, much easier working on it then. Have you modified the front to cover the bottom of the frame? (does look like you have) Seems to get over looked with the watson frame.

Need to get fixing my Mini up! Its way too rusty mind. Plus no garage doesn't help.

Looks like you got a nice bit of space to work. Is the mini going to be purely for track outings?

Ufft id say this will litteraly fly with the spec you're planning . Awsome build mate will be watching this!
