After having a face lift from it's run in with the back of a Rover 75 and it's wheel getting smashed into the front thanks to some old ball joints. It finally got stored away when the old engine gave up.
Now that I've finally got muly house sorted and moved in I think it's about time I got the mini back on the road.
After spending a small fourtune on new parts all that's left is to fit them and sort out the cosmetics.
So the run down of what's to be done;
New 1293 engine built by Jon Speed
Twin 45 webber carb
6" inlet manifold
Pipercross trumpet socks
LCB manifold and exhaust system
4 core radiator
Uprated distributor for 266 cam
Facet fuel pump
Monte driveshafts
Metro hubs
New ball joints
Front subframe solid mount kit
Front and rear Hilo's
Adjustable tie-rods, lower arms and rear camber brackes
Gaz adjustable dampers, front and back
Metro 4 pot calipers and braded hoses
Metro 8.4" vented brake discs and flanges
Fiberglass boot lib
Fiberglass front flip to change back to round nose
and then some interior parts still to come.
A few photos of the mini over the couple of years.
