    Awesome fab skills - 4WD turbo Mini project on youtube.

    No affiliation - saw this on youtube and have been following it.

    What this guy can do with cardboard templates, a metal break, an angle grinder, and a modest welding set up is amazing....

    He's putting a Toyota Celica Turbo 4WD running gear into an old mini.

    Here's the first video - so far there are about 6 more. Warning - very addictive to watch....and some silly British humor.

          Great to watch, the Mini related humour absolutely resonates with me, growing up around Mokes

            Whelp, this looks like a great way to spend my time winding down after work this morning. Thank you for posting this.

              Are these a good platform? Once I get a garage I want to try a "simple" project. Something I can give a whirl... these Minis are cool.

              Local C&C there was one, simple enough looking, with German police graphics. Looked tough.

                      Towards the end there is basically nothing of the original mini left.

                        Episodes 1-7 in one shot- eyes bleeding. Very worth it.
