Apparently the crack in the sump is so small he doesnt think it'd show up in a picture.

he said he could get it welded or source another sump... but then my plan of offering a grand cash wouldnt be as easy.

Plus im expecting the loom, ecu etc thrown in :lol:

I plan on spending as little as possible, but at the same time, its gotta be right obviously.

Basically, I'm not setting a budget, I'm just curbing my spending as much as possible.

I'm allowing for about a grand for the engine itself, a couple hundred for extra engine bits....(loom, ecu, etc)

I have a friend doing me an ally fuel tank for dirt cheap,

I'm yet to decide between doing the respray myself (i have access to a spray booth), or getting mates rates by the pros...

The main part i'm still unsure about, is what i'm hoping i can bribe Joe with, tea, coffee, money, help etc for :lol:

Fibreglass flip front to be got, metro turbo brakes, radiator from where-ever, roll cage, suspension.

Few other bits, and i think thats the main bits done!

Overall, im hoping to spend less than £4k if possible.



sorry for thread jacking Joe!

Don't worry about the hijack, and i will help in as many ways as possible. I am going to see a chap who is into grass track racing. Just happens to know a chap he races against who owns a company who does mini to bike engine conversions.
( starts with Z). :grin:
Wants me to look at copying a tub of his for grass tracking. Could be a good source if info i hope.

Thinking of going up to Devils Bridge, not been up there since i sold the Fireblade and built the Indy. See if any of the bikers can keep up on the twisties.


Kit car only has room for two. :lol:



Your welcome to come along though with AJ mate. Could even make it one night this week to see the Mini, before i start to strip it down.
