PigMi -Porsche engined Mini build episode 2 - will the engine fit?
In this episode I finish off the basics of the main rollbar and try and fit the engine in place, but will it fit?
I love cars, I love minis. In the past I have bike engined my mini but and regreted every day since I sold it. When I bought this mini shell and parts I had always planned to rebuild it original but I soon decided to use the engine in my other mini at which point and engine swap was the logical answer...
Follow my build for the first rear engined mini with a porsche flat 6 in in the back!

Started with Binky, then Watched Jeff put a Ferrari V8 engine in a Alfa Romeo, currently watching a Irish chap put a Complete Boxster under a Metro with a 6r4 Bodykit and now a mini with a Porsche engine and front Subframe👍 I like your Music on the Last Video but this has a Bit more Chill Vibe.

    Don't apologise for the music. It's your channel, do what you like. No one is being forced to watch it. Also be aware that there's another channel out there with a multi video series on engine swapping a Mini, which involved extensive bracket fabrication...

    Great project, your going to have a lot of fun! The track is very wide for the body, what have you planed? There's a irish guy doing a boxter metro, but thats a 6r4 replica with the mega wide bodykit. You've probably seen it but uf not ill find a link 👍 here it is, one of my current favourite builds ua-cam.com/play/PLtXssEucnVPUBq81kksYs7s0G1RzUNI1K.html&si=Csh3Y-GJCh0L5qef

      Great Project he is building. I wanted to keep it as much as possible a mini and mini shell... if possible! It will be similar to the Z-cars bike engine conversions in that the main part of the shell is kept and it is not a silhouette racer. I would have kept the front subframe but wheels and brakes would not be big enough and the proportions would have been very strange.
