We have a customer who is essentially building a Mini from scratch. He’s got the Mini Body Shell and he's getting the Rear and Front Subframes preassembled, ready to bolt into the shell. We've put together https://www.minimania.com/How-To-Cla...ubframe-Part-1 to help others who may be tackling the same sort of project.

In this video we're taking the late Subframe and we're going to assemble it as stock - 1976 to 1996, would have been pretty much this basic set up: the right size brakes, etc. One side is already assembled for comparison, while the other side is a bare subframe.

The second half of the video can be found here.

Did you build - or rebuild - your Mini? We'd love to hear about it!
