Hi all,

Just thought I'd introduce myself and say hi (and show you some pics of my special lady!)
Love this site by the way, friendly and loads of good advice!
This is my first Mini, and my first project, so I'm taking things slowly....

Heres the shell when I bought it off my mate. (Had some nasty hidden rust which I had to deal with).
[attachment=13330:attachment]

And heres the shell now. (All ready for that Weber ;) )
[attachment=13332:attachment]

Heres the engine before.
[attachment=13331:attachment]

And after it came back from Morspeed. Its now a 1340 fast road engine, MSPD track day cam, and stage 5 head - should be wild enough I hope?!
[attachment=13333:attachment]

All I have to do now is put it all together!

Yay! Its nice to feel welcome :D

...and your right Pooky, I cant wait to get it on the road - with a bit of luck she should be finished for the summer. I'm just a little bit scared of the wiring loom - it looks very ominous spread out on my lounge floor - eek!

Oh - ok then minimadjonesy, you twisted my arm, a project page it is! :D
I'm making a plaster dashboard mould at the moment - so things are a bit messy in the garage, when its dry I'll take the camera out and start snapping away!
