Very nice RedRiley, exactly what I was looking to do. Just need a mini front or back end so I can start fettling!
 

 swing arms and cut the old drums down to make some backing plates, and it uses coil-over shocks for suspension.

ME, me, me! I'm also looking to make a trailer to tow behind my mini pickup, would like to find a back end of a Mini or even a rear subbie. I've got a front subbie but it's hard to engineer it into a trailer.

Thanks, Martin.

You don't even need a whole rear subframe. I had one that was totally mangled, and just salvaged the rear beam. Stripped the brakes off of the swing arms and cut the old drums down to make some backing plates, and it uses coil-over shocks for suspension.
