Real shame your stripping this for parts, i really do think you did a fantastic job of it. Just out of interest, how much did the 1380 build set you back?

1 of the nicest mini's ive seen would love to have 1 as good as that

I know, wish I could keep it.

Maximum, £400. Including clutch and gearbox. Gearbox was £30 and i fitted a hardened diff pin to it.

Engine with cam, full head with rimflow valves, pistons, crank was £200. Total bargain on eBay, don't think it had ever run. Pistons in it are £80 each!

I used a clutch I had laying around, payed £70 for a polished end cover and there's probably a few things I missed to make it up to £400.


That doesn't include auxiliaries and fancy bits!

£400! you did well there Ive got a budget of £1500 and I thought I would be scrimping at that.

I sure did! I had a budget of £1000.

If the guy had listed it properly it would have sold for a lot more. Even had a nice new kent 276 in it .

shell for sale soon if anybody is interested!

Will be sad day to take it apart, probably why i havent done it!

[Down&Out]

How much is the shell out of interest, solid and all the rest?

[jonny f]

Its up in the valuations area as i don't really know what its worth.

Will except a resonable offer on a solid shell though.
