The time has come for me to reluctantly sell my 1990 Mini. Being a self-employed personal trainer working silly hours, has left me with very little time to continue the potentially small amount of work needed to have the car back on the road/track.
It started its life as a blue 998cc Rover mini, It had seen much better days. The car was completely stripped down & shot blasted. Any damaged/rotten panels were replaced with heritage panels and certain areas received extra attention with a focus on strengthening or accommodating engines or Fuel tanks. The car was sprayed Ferrari Gialofly Yellow, with a Black roof. I choose to attempt a vtec conversion, which originally started with a B16A2 but later replaced with a B18C4, due to its LSD gearbox and the fact I had the complete donor car making the conversion a lot easier. If you want more info on the build here is a link to the build thread - http://www.16vminicl...&highlight=wasp
