Had minis since I started driving. I had an r56 cooper s for 4 years before selling it due to running my work van daily. I decided I had to look for another classic, So I ventured down to Glasgow and picked her up!
The car is Solid as it was rebuild in 2006 and resprayed it then only covered 700 miles till now.
I'm planning/ in the process of building the mini up to a "period" track spec car.
The current spec is ....

1380 morspeed race stage 4 engine
Morspeed big valve head (stage 4)
Morspeed Ph Rally Cam ( like 286)
Lightened flywheel & updated clutch
Full roller rockers 1.5:1
123 DIZZY with selectable advance curves
45 Weber on long manifold
Electric fuel pump
Rebuilt gearbox
Maniflow stage 2 manifold
2" single box exhaust
2 core radiator

Solid subframe mounts
Updated front cones (springs)
Hi-lo adjustable suspension
Fully adjustable tierods/camber brackets

Interior is pretty much standard apart from,
Metro Gti seats
Luke 3 point harnesses
Rear roll cage
Later wooden black dash
Rear seat,door cards trimmed in black alcantara

Replaced a few seals here and there and little parts which were missing.
Then I started looking for "daily" wheels, I never had liked 12" wheels on a mini, so it has to go back Down to 10s
So I found and won these 10" ATS Lightweights wheels which are a big hit in Germany on classic minis!
I'm going to be getting them powder coated gold so will see how they turn out! But still not fully convinced as they are are only 5" wide!
Next up is Tyres!

Couple of updates for today, tires have arrived for the 10" wheels. I ended up going for some soft compound road legal track tires which are Yokohama A032R's , also arrived is an RAC rally sump guard for when I screw her Down a wee bit!

Also on order are alloy KAD 4 pot calipers, with vented and grooved 7.9 discs. Which are due to arrive this week!

Had another "ultimate" engine steady fitted as the standard steady wasn't fit for the engine and kept getting broken, so I'm hoping the new steady has resolved the issue!

Last weekend we were out for a run to Inverness, round Lochness , with the IMOG Clan! 300miles later without 1 problem!

Brakes just arrived at the end of the week, delighted with the build quality and the customer service KAD gave!

Hoping the car will stop a bitty better now!!
