Hi everyone, After owning a mini for my first car at 17 and bulding and fitting a bored out A Series 1400cc lump in it along with twin 1 3/4 Su Carbs amongst loads of bit to change the car from completely standard 998cc mini checkmate to the pictures below 135bhp pocket rocket . I loved the car to bits but regrettably sold it for a more "modern, reliable, practical Corsa VXR.....
After owning that car for 5 years and never really feeling the soul I got from my old mini the itch grew bigger and bigger until I sold it and decided to embark on a Z-cars conversion, something I had contemplated on doing to my previous mini before I went for the 1400cc option. I then figured Id like to document my build no matter how long and tedious as this is something I hadn't done on my previous mini and wished I had.
Below are pictures of my first mini in all its glory!
