Well it seems as though someone has beaten me to trying this conversion. i.e POPS?MR2RED, but I'm sure it will be good see comparisons

Heres the mini, needs some fairly serious lower body work

and here is the engine which came 2 days ago

I have my hands fairly full getting the K mini repaired, but once thats done I should be onto to this one.

If anything is to go by the last one, this should take a few years also, but we will see!

Initial thoughts are to use Megasquirt, as I have not got ECU and transponder (bloody scrappies are thick!)

Would like to try and keep all mondeo suspension, but should be a challenge as the rear track is going to be wide!

And this one will have a stereo for a bit of comfort!

Will update when I can

I scrapped a mondie v6 last week but still have edis6 unit + coils + flow meter + temp sensor.
No ecu tho, never thought I would sell one doh.

Make us an offer
