well im back after a short spell of inactivity so i thought id share where im at with mojo.
ive basically pulled her apart again and redone everything as im trying to achieve an ultra clean install ,sympathetic to mojo's age and a tribute to the bmc works minis.
in a bid to recreate that old school special tuning feel im using alot of brass fixings ,wing nuts etc and black wrinkle finish paint!
ive also rewired the whole bloody car moving the electrics inside and fabricating many parts
ultimately i trying to blend my promo kit with a 44 year old mini in a tribute to the glorious works cars

the eagle eyed may notice also ive altered the cooling system ,i had to rid myself of that visible cooling fan and on revotecs advice the 9'' blower fan is less efficient than the 10'' suction fan ive replaced it with, so ive moved the rad forward to accomodate ,now it looks better and will cool better!
anywho enjoy this ridiculously labour intensive build !!

What a cool car. I like the concept of a Works replica, add the R1 motor to it for a bit of interest and more power!

Keep up the good work.
