Awesomely awesome. Just one thing, put the fuel filler back on, they are cool!
Yeah id love to keep it but the fuel tank and filler are a lot higher now, not sure what im doing about that yet!!
Doesn't have to work, just have it as a fake, and put the real one through side window?

So in theory of course, you could do the V8 swap for an MX-5 (which they seem to do in the states) and have a V8 powered, rear drive clubman estate.

i think a good powerful four pot engine will be best for this, although a chevy LS V8 would fit!!!!!
got the step back in and made new corners up, just on with making a new boot area.
made new back door shuts.
all folded, but just needed a little bend on it to follow the door shape.
then got on with boot floor.
boxed off the rear chassis sections.
been toying with idear of keeping the one peice back door on, what do we think?
