Exciting! Similar stage as my shell - I'm itching to see it with everything back in place like your last pics. Looking forward to seeing your next update with fresh paint!

You should seriously consider a CAM/HIF44 carb and maybe rockers to max on all the power.
Especially now that the engine is out..
I just pulled a Crane 731 and new clutch out of mine and replaced with a BP255 + HIF44 - what a difference.
Getting a new ported head mid summer..

It may sound weird but I want to experience the standard engine before anything more. And I just want to drive the damn thing one day first

Wow, 11 years since you bought it! I'm glad to see you've stuck with it - the end is in sight now!

Hey DA
I'm in Montreal the next three days near old port, any mini shops I can visit for parts or car shows on?

Just read your entire project thread and will keep checking your updates as it has been very inspiring. You deserve a big pat on the back for sticking with it. Obviously a lot of time and effort has gone into everything. Keep it up and good luck!

Thanks for that! This project has seen ups and downs over the years. If I knew at the start that 11 years later it still wouldn't be finished I would have NEVER started it. I could have bought a top condition Mini for less than what I paid already. And because I have this project car, I prevented myself of having cool cars meanwhile.
Anyways, maybe I'll forget about those years when I finally drive it, I don't know.
