I haven't done any work to the scuttle as mini did not need it but mine has closeing panels where it is over the wing

[ginger in a mini]

Right! My aim was to make it to the London to Brighton run. I only had two weeks (two weekends and after work in the week) to build it from a bare shell to MOT standard. Me and the lads soon got to it and made it with hours to spare....literally! Heres a few more pictures. Now im on the road i'll hopefully meet some of you soon!!






The Inner Wing was rotten around the fan grill so I cut it out and made this out of some box section instead....the 7.9 discs only just fit




I had the engine completely stripped down and rebuilt. Its a standard size bore 1275 with a piper 270 cam, hif44 carb and thats about it





So here she is all sorted on the show and shine stand on Brighton sea front, there are still a few things to do, i'e space wheels out to fill arches. All in all I think she's looking good! What do you all think?
The next stage is to have more POWER so I better get my thinking cap on!!!

I think the car looks great but I don't like the arches! Sorry, those sportspacks looks mahooosive with those 10inch starmags, other than that really nice finish and good timing!

[minidream94]

luverly GT mate, hows the saxo engine conversion coming along, would be good to see it done.

[grahama]

Great job, hope mine turns out half as good.

[scotty_18]

whats a 1275gt like? meant to be buying one and want to know if its a bit rapid or not

[ginger in a mini]

Thank guys.,I've give up with the Saxo idea but still might go 16v or turbo. Don't get me Rong it's nippy but I want it to be a rocket
