Here are some more photos I took when the car was in Arizona, 2009.

I'm sure it would be ok. There's other fibreglassed cars out there that do alright. Proper ventilation would be best, to avoid separation of the layers and resin. How much of the car is 'glass and how much of it is carbon? Looks like there's a bunch of carbon going on there. But I haven't followed it from the time that you've seen it some time ago. I guess I missed the engine bay pics.

Simple recipe for Excitement: Take 1 Classic Mini. Throw in 1590cc's of engine. Add 5 gears. A dash of 94 octane. A sprinkle of style inside and out. Toss in 1 MadMan and finally heat tires and pavement to taste. Recipe produces 1 Mini VTEC conversion and full satisfaction. Motor on!

Will the fiberglass be able to take the heat? I saw a couple of pics with an engine in the bay. it wasn't a turbo.

Not sure what it looked like before when you seen it last. If you also saw in his post, that he was working on the engine back then. So who knows what's lurking under there now(if there is anything yet). I'm assuming one of his turbo A-series set ups that he sells. I'm sure we'll see more as the time goes.

It's been a back burner project for Jeremy. Been sitting in his garage for awhile. Everyone keeps asking him about it. He had a post about it on his FB page back in October with several pics. https://www.facebook.com/jetmotorsmini/photos/pcb.1129525277103193/1129524103769977

I delivered that car from Colorado to JET Motors several years ago. It was a roller then.

This Hawk Mini Sprint was not mine. It belonged to someone else. I believe it now resides at JET Motors.

What did you do to it? As I remember, it was a rolling shell.

Does anyone know what happened to the flat black fiberglass mini with the fortech flares. It was chopped and channel. It was listed on the cars forsale page for a long time. I think it was located in the midwest. It was a roller.
