Since there was a bit of interest in this, have had most of the items for a few years but hard to find the motivation to actually start doing it, so here goes. Currently making a mid engined 20V Turbo Mini, it need a fair bit of work so I decided to mid engine it as I always wanted a turbo Mid engined Mini. Hope everyone approves.
