I'm beginning to think that it's a lot of work to fit a Toyota Celica drive train/suspension into a Mini. I can't say I've driven a 4wd Celica, but of all the 90's Toyota cars I've driven, I was never like "Oh, this car is such a great platform, I have to transfer it to another car!!" And yes, I know Toyota raced the 4wd as a rally car at some point, but they are starting with the street car. So...yea. Just a lot of questions. But I do love their fab skills with limited tools. That to me, is why I keep watching.Originally posted by Matt-Bhey does anyone know anyone who gets upset and makes electronics?

.....I'm just saying, when you throw a Mini at Toyota Celica at terminal velocity, what's it going to drive like? My guess is a super short wheelbase Celica, with mini looks. That's all. And I'm not sure that's a good thing. Just something to think about.Originally posted by Matt-Bhey does anyone know anyone who gets upset and makes electronics?

The frame gig amazing, and was a key part of the build that many people over look. Others would have built on jack stands and called it a day, and ended up with a nice twisty frame.
