Nice progress, have you dynoed the engine?



no, the dyno places around here know nothing about minis and even less about SU carbs, and on top of that they are very expensive. i would definitely do it if i knew a mini friendly place though!!

Was it rusty there before? Are you spraying it or are you going to have a shop do it?

there's some rust mostly in the rear, where the front part of the rear subframe bolts to the car, and the rear valance. probably some other parts i cant see. i'm striping it myself and then i'm puting the shell to bare metal and then i'll take it back to the shop where they fix the accident damage to have the rust fixed and painted. the guy there has one van, one pick-up, and two regular minis including a canadian spec mini restored to original condition so he knows what he's doing! i just hope it doesnt cost me too much!!!

i'll take some pics of my progress as i go along.

cheers
