My brothers old pink mini was about as much volvo as that - he had 240 sills and nearly a full 240 estate roof skin used as patch material!
Must admit it does look good

Remind me of My girlfreinds old mini. By the end it was running Volvo 245 Steering Wheel, Seats, Seat Belts, Wipers, Fuel Pump, a Pedal and carpets!
All worked too!

Agreed....why would you use that instead of a built T5 engine or a built 16v redblock?

Well if you had a 360 with a dead engine, and an Audi with a knackered body it would be rude not to
Next to my B230 lump in the garage I now have a 1.6 16v Toyota 4AGE lump. If I had the engineering capabilities I'd love to put that in a 360, just because it would be totally different! Plus theres a huge weight difference between the engines so it'd probably help the handling too!

lighter?
more revs?

I don't see problem with putting an audi engine in, atleast it's not from the
C itroen,
R enault

P eugeot stables!
I would definately have an audi in a second, as long as I could keep my volvo!

Lighter maybe. The other two? Depends how you build it. I did say 'built'.
