Hey Everyone

This is my first topic on the forum. My mini is a 1982 HL Works Replica with custom light bar with 4 1960's original Lucas Lion lights 2 fogs and 2 spots. the engine is a 998 with 12G202 998 Cooper head that has been ported and polished. The carb is 1.5 inch SU on Howley manifold i used to have a 25 / 36 DCD Webber twin choke down draft carb. the body is HL shell with MK1 rear light conversion custom flat bootlid the doors have white works copy squares with the famous number 37 (Monte Carlo) and i have just purchased a 1960's works roofrack from ebay. The Suspension has had a lot of work done it has ajusable front tie rods and hi - los with lowerd up rated shocks. The interior has the back seat removed and has been replaced with a custom made rear cross brace bar which has been painted. It has Recaro recliners with 4 point Securon harness, the dash board has been custom made.
