Hi,
My name is Sacha and I live in Italy, im english but been living here for 20 years.

Last year I started a project converting my classic Mini to Porsche power, I found a salvage Boxster and recovered all the drivetrain and electrics and shoehorned them into the mini shell.

The engine and rear drivetrain is all in as well as the whole wiring loom, unluckily I fitted the front subframe in but I cannot make it fit due to the height of the shocks but I will find a solution. The funny thing is that the car has all the electrical parts from the boxster and even the OBD so plugging it in you have to remember to choose porsche!

If you are interested, you can follow the build, it is all documented on youtube here:

Thanks for looking!
