well too kick it all off i had a metro turbo in my mini and didnt think it would last very long as i rebuilt the whole lot from scratch over 7 years including the shell too as my mate had blown hes turbo up so i went down the vtec road and desided that it was too much agro after getting a engine and having look at what needed to be done then i got offered a blade engine for a steal so i had that too after desiding it would be a lot simplier than vtec but then lol i thought the mini i had was to good to chop up for bike engine so i got another complete mini that was very rotten so this is where i am at

You know.. if you just put {img} {/img} around each of those links, using [ square brackets instead of curly ones.. we'd al be able to see the photos in the thread.

[miniblade81]

lol sorry new too this

[SukiDawg]

Lol... don't worry...

Keep those photos coming though and let us know how you get on.

and you need a square bracket either side of the img and the /img
