ello everyone. Recently i have the urge to start my first project car. My uncle owns a Mini and built it himself ages ago and insists that if i want to start a project a Mini is the way to go. My plan is to find a cheap mini and restore it. No troblem finding a cheap mini, but im looking at putting a 1275 cooper engine in. Cant seem to find a decent one or one at all on ebay, and alot of the mini shops i go to online have racing spec engines which im not after. So can any one direct me to were i can find a cooper engine, and how much i would expect to pay for one? Any help and info would be apprieciated.

Cheers :D

I'd get the Mini sorted first... Engines one of the last on my list. As for engines, here is your best bet as there are a few people on here breaking them.....
