Possibile project (probably way off in the future)

[Megamonkey]

Right well this might not really apply to this site but I've been thinking about doing a project for a while. Basically I've only ever had a 306, and its always been my main car so usually haven't been able to do anything crazy with it and to be fair its a good workhorse (might go for a HDi next time as a main car).

Anyways as seen as it would be a second car project I could have whatever I wanted (within reason) and have been thinking about a 4x4. As I know a little about XUD's I was thinking of an XUD engined 4x4 (hence why posting it here) but the only ones that exsist are Suzuki Vitara's or Lada Nivas, both rare as rocking horse shite. So if anyone see's one for sale give us a shout!

Well I thought about this a bit more and I've also wanted a mini ... so my crazy idea is a mini 4x4 (slap a shell ontop of a 4x4 chassis like -





(Stolen from Minifinity.co.uk)

So basically a Monster Mini powered by a nicely tuned XUD ... what do you guys think? Possible?

Well this would probably be a way off anyways due to funds, not having a garage, and even tho I have a Engineering degree I'm basically a spanner with a hammer! For now its just an idea and was looking for comments and information if you guys have any ...
