Tamiya Morris Mini Cooper LZR Mk.1

[KC FitiWerks]

HMCN was a great show this year, fantastic builds! Right before the awards were announced, the President of KC Slammers pulled a few contestants aside and handed out little bag to each of them. Resign LSX with a note. 

To follow next year's theme, "What the Heck?". We have to put this LSX in a vehicle that this motor would never be installed in and make it like the manufacturer designed it to fit (look like stock). 

Someone said, "A beetle?" Yes, something that wouldn't have a V8.

So... after searching for something, I ran across this! Tamyia 1/24 1969 Morris Mini Cooper 1275S Mk1. The LSX might be a tight squeeze.

You probably read all this in "Mock-up". Didn't want to post the build in there.

So here we go with progress...

Excuse the mess. ADD/ADHD... A lot of squirls(kits) surrounding me!

another project started.  I always wanted to build one of these maybe when I finish some projects..

I love the madness of it!! This will certainly fit the 'what the heck' design brief.

When I was a kid I built a Tamiya Mini with a 454ci Chevy, and monster truck wheels and tyres. 

Looking forward to seeing more.
