MadMinor project - not 56k friendly though
Hi All
After watching other peoples projects with interest, I thought it might be about time I put some pics of my baby up on here.
Now, its not your normal SX project, but it is definately SX related.
So, what do you get if you take one of these;

At least I will do eventually!
So anyway, the story is in the following pics. First prepare your bodyshell;

After which you will get a few bits left over, which you won't be needing any more;

Then you can set about preparing your rolling chassis - snow is optional;

As is a garage too small to fit the car in without chopping the front off (you won't be needing that bit anyway...);

You now have the main ingredients;

Trial fit them together;

At this point you can measure how much needs removing from the wheelbase - 9 inches was the final amount, which actually leaves the wheelbase a bit longer than a standard minor, but makes things easier to fit together.
