woohoo nice!!

[Damn True]

Very cool.

There are some astonishing early escorts (euro RWD) and Cozzy Cortina's in the UK as well.

Everytime that see those minis, I think about a friend's 56' Hillman. He yanked the 4 banger and put a spunky 302 in it....from the exterior it still looks fairly stock, with the exception of the five spoke ford ranger wheels on it.

Edit...I found a pic on my computer of this car.

That mini in the second post looks awesome. But I am having a hard time picturing how that front LCA works. THe rodend in 90* to the intended rotation. So the max travel is limited to the rotation of the spherical bearing +/- 15* max?

[Lowend]

Keep in mind that original Mini's didn't have a huge suspension travel due to their goofy hydrolastic setup

But yeah - that is quite the little pushrod sculpture
