    Looks that way! Did the other one get finished in the end? I don't remember seeing a conclusion.

Oh the joys of receiving a letter to tell you that your tax exempt vehicle that doesn't need a tax disc is about to run out of tax.

Tomorrows job will be to remove the 1300 Countryman's engine, split it from the box and pull the crank. Put the crank into my 1300 Maestro engine and put that onto a rod change box. Then maybe get it back into the Countryman.

    Sounds like a PITA.. Can't you get another 1300 crank? I got one..

    I've got plenty of 1275 cranks. Im just hoping the one in the Countryman is good enough that it won't need a grind. It's got to be split appart away so it's worth a look.

    is that hydro spastic suspension? I am converting mine to cones...
    Dec 18 2014 10:59 AM

    It'll be staying hydrolastic providing the displacer hold pressure or if I can find some others. I actually like the ride of a hydro Mini especially with front dampers and they're getting rare now.

    Ahhh fair enough. It's difficult to get hydro repressurised here in NZ hence the change to cones.

    Well I'm still hoping I can wear him down. It was a wreck but possibly the earliest surviving one.

I think I should build a 970 turbo Time Attack Mini. I should also win the lottery.
