Crazy Dream - Mini Cooper EV

Newly retired with a lot of time on my hands. I have a crazy dream of converting a 2000+ Mini Cooper to electric. Preferably AWD, but that might be a stretch. Eventual goal is to compete in some SCCA Autocross events & kick my brother in law’s butt. 🤣 I’ve seen one or two on the web, but only the classic Mini, not the newer, BMW designed ones.

Anyone ever seen/done this ? Any tips on where to even start a project like this ?

I’m new to EV’s, but not to motors, inverters, high voltages, etc. having worked as an elevator technician for over 40 years. Time do do something fun.
