hi everybody, thought that i would start a topic about my mini clubman.
i have had it for about 1 yr now, which i have enjoyed loads. at the end of the last year i put it in the garage for safe keeping! over the winter i started to think about doing a motorbike engine conversion, so off i went buying all sorts of stuff for the conversion.
i got myself a 5pw 2003 r1 engineAttached File  odds_029.jpg   647.48K   77 downloads, new speedo, new dashboardAttached File  odds_015.jpg   750.75K   54 downloads new doorcardsAttached File  odds_016.jpg   715.76K   59 downloads new body kit, new wheelsAttached File  DSC00606.JPG   630.46K   53 downloads etc etc etc etc.

anyway today was the day that i got it out of the garage again.

so this is going to be the story of how i get it all to come together!
so no doubt be asking for help now and then!!!

I would recommend sending the car prior to fitting the bodykit and any exterior painting. But good on ya ! it'll make a great mini - and I think the zeemax kits for clubmans look pretty good.
