Wilwood 12.9" 6 piston front, 10" 4 piston rear
47 RH 5 speed overdrive automatic trans.
AlterKtion front sub w/ Air ride

American racing Torque Thrust 18X8 Front 20X10 rear
Seats, may stay with the stock bench (undecided)
Here are some getting started pics. I'll try to keep the updates coming.

Nothing a plasma cutter couldn't fix! There was some rust repair that was done. When they welded it they caught part of the K frame so it was easier to cut it out.

I like the Mini.

Looks like a very cool project!

Finally had some time to get some work done on this project. It will start to move along at a better clip as I have decided exactly what I want.

The AlterKtion kit is so well made it fit right in with no modification at all. Bill builds a great product. I should have on the ground next week ad begin fitting the motor and tranny. Then it will be off to the body shop.

Got home from work late last night and spent a couple of hours on it. Motivation is very high now.

 

[Duskybird]

Had a little time to do some cutting and fitting.
