just recently bought this mini from Scotty Gaymer 1990 rover mini which he rebuilt using mg metro engine car was basiclly standard except fot ported inlets but wanted to change it to my liking
just put classic cobra seat, spax front, armstsrong race shocks rear, adjustable tie rods and camber arms 11/4 deg camber slight camber rear
cone fiter, maniflow vortex manifold and rc40 advanced the timing to 10 deg and some sound proofing as its solid mounted.
its amazing what these changes make to mini ( hope the photos come out ok ) not showing on preview

no not yet but have a look and see

thats really tidy mate, i thought it was a paint job not a removeable front . it fits really well

what else you got planned??

[racingbob]

sorry its also got a corbon fibre front that scotty put on

maybe some 6" wheels and slightly wider arches in green, maybe high lift rockers

car goes realy well what a great cam that mg metro cam is

I used to race minis way back here in UK and in AUS

[maggies_minder]

i was going to say some paint matched arches but didnt want to offend incase you'd just put them on
so are you planning on a low and wide look?

not to wide probably 3 inch no rush spent enough already
