I just wanted to show one of the projects at trueleo racing; my son's 1959 custom mini body mounted on an shortened and narrowed MR-2 frame with a roll cage, Camray v6. It's almost ready for paint and stupid fast. BTW" he did the custom body work as well everything else. His SLC is next.

LOL, next to his big Tundra it looks like a pedal car.

As a former Mini owner........

CAN I MARRY IT ?????

I think it's taken.
I'll post photos including the seats etc when it done. He's leaning toward painting it the same green as the currant Lotus F-1 cars, even though that color is secret.

Thats an awesome Mini. Are you running the Camry 3.5l V6 in it? The green on the newer Lotus' would look awesome on that Mini. You are going to break necks going down the road in that Mini. LOL!

I love Mini's and that is awesome! Why did he choose a Camry V6?

The British may only be skin deep but I'm fine with that... please tell me there's a build thread somewhere? We always need more details on stuff like this

Because it's a drop in to the MR2 platform? Just a guess.
Bet that thing is fun as hell!

Why the Camry v6, well he road races an MR-2 (and it's quite fast) with that v6 and I think it was spare?

Do you have any plans to Supercharge or Turbocharge it when you get bored with the power?

I doubt that he could find the space, besides it don't weigh nutin, and has well over 200HP. Then too, by the time it gets boring, he should have a lot done on his SLC.

dang, my son is nuts, i just this from him:

I do plan to turbo the mini or put in a built 9,000 rpm 300+ rwhp na motor[/QUOTE]

Thats awesome. Nothing like having a light car with stupid amounts of power. Maybe you all can build the worlds fastest Mini.

Couple of inspirations:
