Nice. Apparently theyre hidous to drive though...too much weight over the front

 

[John185k]

yeh they are horrendous as they use the metro subframe/suspension set up. They are better mid mounted like z cars conversion.

A mate has a vid with this on too - http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/108850.htm

Just slightly quick! I want it!

 

[John185k]

yeh, the guy only got it built a couple of years ago. i would never sell it!!

The KAD 16v engine conversion is probably the best A series/mini set up to go with.
