long term project turning into a speedster

[endo-mini]

major project that was only supposed to be a respray and a few panels replaced. Turned into a speedster/convertiable from a 1984 mini mayfair been on hold for the past 4 years hope to sort it in next 12 months after the 2 resto's i'm doing at the moment. I had a 2.7 v6 fitted in the back at one stage but was going to be too much off a handful due to weight balance not sure whether to have it fwd with an a series or do a mid engine as back is already cut out.
here's what it looked like when it was a car.

mini will be de-seamed when finished not sure on colour yet maybe tahiti blue.
spec is unsure at the moment.

project will not be completed as i sold the shell yesterday as i have the other mini and we are moving house again so one of them had to go but on a plus side will have more time and money to complete the other mini.
