yeah, shame that, minis are put aside for other cars

[1976 clubamn]

i have now got myself a turbo engine. £245 off ebay. not to bad i would say, although the turbo shaft wagles like CB aerial in the wind.

the rest is complete wich is nice.

if anyone has any photos of there turbo engines outside of the car i would love to see them so i can compair them to the one i have, to check if it is the same.

Price sounds about right.
Does your garage have radiators or is it plonked on your kitchen floor?

[1976 clubamn]

indeed the garage has got radiators. good for winter working. and i can fit three minis in there, or two with plenty of room to work.

[1976 clubamn]

no problem, if they are both up and running by then sure, sounds like fun.

[1976 clubamn]

Good news everyone, the cluby is back and has been sprayed as you can see.

What do you think?

i love it. i know i said i was going to have viper stripes but i changed my mind. i think it looks better than the vipers.

that is F-in awesom mate!!

i prob would of had the stripes slightly more offset, but it certainly looks the dogs!!!

very very unique aswel, not seen that on any other mini before!!

What work did the body shop carry out??

as i need aLOT of resto work to be done on my van, an i was quoted £1k for totally new front panels, sills, side steps, etc... but i thought it was a bit steeep.

i havent seen it on any other mini either thats why i wanted to try it. loads of othere peolpe have done the viper stripe thingso i thought i would be different.

now that it is back i can build it back up again, i really can't wate to get it finished.


£1000 sounds about right if you want a body shop to do the work.

i had two new sills, and a step. had a turbo bulkhead box cut in and welded and some filler work done.

[philster]

i like it, glad you didn't go with viper stripes there so poogeut 306
Someone i know had an imp with a very similar paint scheme although his was white with blue stripes.

Lookin good thou, when do you think you'll get it finished?

[1976 clubamn]

hope to have in done in around two months, at the most.

i have everything i need to build it up now so should not take to long.

[Mincento]
