I guess we'll have to wait for episode 9 to find out?

Yeah Paul although I love the series I would have just done it tube frame so as not to be petrified of crashing it.  But of course that's not the idea here...

What! your being sarcastic right? Save money? this will be the most expensive conversion I've ever had the pleasure of watching!! There doing it right and the labour hours involved will be astronomical!!

I've heard a few times that it'll be Nik Blackhurst's own DD.  On their FB page they did something close to this before, putting a Citroen under a Mini with a Vauxhall lump.  New rear cantilever suspension etc.  A few commented wondering if it was the inspiration for Binky.

I have not heard who the customer is in the video's.

There is a rumor going around that it could be heading to Yuma Arizona to add to a "special" Mini owners collection. :-)

If in doubt, flat out. Colin Mc Rae MBE 1968-2007.

Many moons ago I was sharing an idea I'd had with someone.

When they asked me "Can you picture it in 3-D in your mind ?"

"If you can't it's not worth doing !" was his response. Thought it was funny and has stuck with me all these years, but there was some truth to it.

I get the idea they view projects on the car in "3-D".

Really enjoy the series.
