Bouncing various ideas thru my head and was reading wikipedia about the minvans - according to WP, the '84-88 Mini's had the same track width as the cars (69.5in). The later vans had a 72in track width. I had always thought that the vans were all wider. So, does this mean the 'early' mini's have a common K-frame with the cars? Common suspension geometery?
Also, does that mean it might be possible to put a minivan k-frame on a car? To make a wide-track front suspension?
