Does anyone know if there is down loadable drawings or plans for making your own buggie based on a mini?

Not Mini specific but I saw a book in Halfords on building an offroad buggy , it might be possible to adapt the plans to use mini components , otherwise You will have to do a bit of drawing , use a mini front subframe turned around on the back end , make a rollcage incorporating the subframe and at the front just a double wishbone setup using mini uprights and of course a mk 1 mini steering rack ( high ratio ) simple really :roll: :roll: should keep You occupied for a Saturday morning , I think Fergal should be the test driver .
