hi there..i´ll continue from the "introduce yourself" thread that this was presented on (and was very useful thanks to you experts)
yesterday the mini came back from the mechanic where we tested the engine and cleaned out the carbs etc..it now starts from the new battery and runs from petrol in the rear end. its a 1974 authi in theory..but with a metro engine put in by previous owners..it also has discs up front and was rigged up with spot lights and bolt on rally goodies judging by the holes in the body. so staright into rubbing down the old filler to see the damaga..very little rot!..2 holes..a few bends and twists but nothing scary..the floor has has new panels rivetted in by some old duffer..and will need welding properly
it has the hole through to the boot space which i believe is a authi thing?.and the wood dash
i´m dead happy its a lovely looking car..its on revos and michelin tyres that i sourced in blighty
heres some pics for you all to examine !!..any thoughts more than welcome
