New project in the offing, hoorah! I'd like to use a classic Mini front subframe, suspension and steering but it seems the days of getting a complete one for £50.00 are long gone. Are there any alternatives out there that offer the same sort of set up and are easier to come by? I appreciate its unlikely to be as compact but I just thought it was worth an ask. Many thanks peeps.

Not as bad but I'd rather go for the dry suspension. The beauty of the Mini is, of course, that ALL the suspension is on the subby so it's just the steering to add. I'm probably gonna have to just spend the money but always worth seeing what other folk have worked with that I may not be aware of.

Mmm, think I might have sorted this one, MGF is basically Metro without the driveshafts. A bit of work could see some coilovers in there... 🤞

There you go A subframe with every thing. Suspension / motor / gear box / steering / and even a complete fuel system. And all attached to the cars bulkhead by 4 bolts.   |
