24.01.2022 Setting out the gauges before I vinyl wrap the dash

20.01.2022 Frankenmini hanging out today at the Chelly in Kurri Kurri for Mulletfest #mulletfest2019

20.01.2022 So I decided the dash was too plain looking so I added stitches to it. Now the inside match’s the outside

20.01.2022 Lowers and lifted car meet at toyriffic last night. Now has side mount fuel tanks, floor and seats fitted. Starting to look like a car

20.01.2022 Time to finish of the underside of the body then fabricate the roll cage

19.01.2022 351W going back together noise maker installed

19.01.2022 Bottom end done!!

18.01.2022 Contemplating enclosing the rear windows with steel plate and putting a slot for guns out either side Mad Max/The A Team style

17.01.2022 Franken mini is getting closer to completion. Who else is keen to see this beast rolling?

17.01.2022 Pre-fit the seats and foot pedals. After I pull everything back out and spray Saturn black through the entire inside I’ll build the tunnel cover and build the dash out another 300mm and give it some shape ready for guages and switches to go in.

17.01.2022 #frankenmini is all set up at the Hunter 4x4 Muster for Beyond Blue.

16.01.2022 The body is coming back off for the last time (I promise) to finish off a few things

14.01.2022 First section of the cage complete

11.01.2022 She’s come a long way Before and after Not long to go now now

11.01.2022 Back down for the Australian Mini Nationals in Hay 2018 June long weekend.

10.01.2022 Frankenmini should be making some noise soon enough. Just building the motor for it now. Special thanks to Brendan for all your efforts with the motor. ITS BUILD TIME!!

10.01.2022 Hey guys and girls. Just thought I’d throw an update out there for anyone that’s been wondering what happened to frankenmini. At the moment frankenmini is getting the motor rebuilt. We are building it tough (because a standard 351 Windsor V8 just isn’t enough power) This will be a worked V8 (roller rockers, monster solid cam & lifters, Gilmore drive, 40thou over, methanol fuelled AWD mini on 37 tyres you’re likely to see anytime soon. Building the custom tail shafts and fu...el tank now and my good friend Brendan is putting the motor and gearbox together. This project car is ‘finally’ well underway and looking to be finished by October this year. I’m going to be starting to post up progress reports and images very soon. -All fabrication including custom front bar and side tanks done by myself OOO Industrial- *WATCH THIS SPACE* Ps: mini sits 4 higher now

09.01.2022 When shoehorning a 351 windsor into a mini engine bay(even after cutting out a stack of body work) there isn’t much room left for things like brake boosters. However with a little thought and mucking around anything’s possible. Using the original clutch and brake pedals from the mini, these will now be the accelerator and brake pedals. Toyota Corolla brake booster and master cylinder.

08.01.2022 Roof console and dash ready to fit and wire up.

06.01.2022 Bakers open car meet in green hills

05.01.2022 Seats arrived for frankenmini today It’s getting closer

04.01.2022 Having an engine bay makeover. Amongst other bits and pieces. Taking the clevo out and sliding the Windsor in
