where do I start,
after having six minis, varying from basket case to road worthy, I moved to France, sold them all, and bought a new one when I came back. one project, one dream,. one beast.
it is a 1985 Austin 998 standard untouched, as factory, rusty, pile of rubbish MOTed and on the road needing love.
so far, I have rebuilt cooling system, radiator, pipes, water pump, thermostat, and housing.
I am just redoing ignition system, points, coil, distributor, HT leads, spark plugs, new battery.
Next mission, to rebuild second engine to replace and arrange new build of old engine already in the car. To produce 70 bhp with reliability at the fore front of everything. (any help, much loved, and thanked)
pictures will follow.
With the input of my girlfriend/fiancé/lover, new paint, new interior, styled to her liking.
So in a nutshell, an every day car in use with slow progress, being built from the ground up while in use everyday until November with a month of painting and December a month of rebuild. Any interest, any help, thank you.
ogh and her name is beast hence the title the beast 1.jpg 43.16K 5 downloads
