Newbie 1971 mk3 cooper vtec build

Hello , i just recently bought a 1971 mini cooper from a family member of mine that was in a front end accident (fenders and motor got pushed back but i measured the wheel base they are both the same and match the factory 80.2 in). my plan is to order the one piece fiberglass front and do a b16 conversion. im only 17 years old and don't have a large budget. i pplan on daily driving it no more than that. I am new to mini and these conversions but im very knowlegable in Hondas and mechanically inclined. i will post up pics later but any advice or guidance would be appreciated. i am also a fabricator so im looking to buy a frame already made and that's about it no arms no axles i can get that all done. i am interested in the allspeed subframe but am unsure if they even ship to us and if they do will it be a fortune. Thanks in advance for any advice. i would love to be able to keep stock suspension , i am anticipating modifying the firewall and i am using the standard round nose flip front
