Phoenix Estate Vvc K-Series Diy Subframe Conversion

2 minute(s) of a 66 minute read

I bought a pair of these as a bit of an unknown entity, but they were supposedly new old stock from ministox race cars and at 240mm between the centre of each bolt hole(on there shortest setting as pictured), I figured they were the same that mini shops sell as the coilovers for lowered mini's 'avo pa 240'. They do indeed measure 240mm, but they look tiny or am I just being a complete mangina?

Front is off:

Offered up the coilover brackets but nothing is ever simple with kit cars...they don't fit.

There is a scalloped section on the inner wing, on both sides, which must be a recess for the wiper motor for both right and left hand drive set up.

So it had to go. I'll worry about wiper motor fitment later.

I then grp'd over it, so the panel is flat now. I did it with the front back on so It also made a lip to bolt the removeable bit to.

I then cut the access holes for the bottom door hinge nuts.

I can bolt through here if needs be too.
