[Fuelrestorations]

Hello members.

 

Im new to the forum, currently buy and restore minis for myself and the odd one for friends/family, 

 

the current build is my very own mini i learnt to drive in and my first car. I stripped it about 21 years ago but my Dads decided he wants to drive to Italy in september 2027 in the minis so its gone to the top of my list

 

a 1985 Mini Mayfair Registered a few days before i was born, She has a 998cc in her with a cobbled together turbo kit mainly from Jet Motors in the USA and a 5speed box

 

the car will be all black and have plenty of carbonfiber pieces, ill try keep you all updated on the build.

 

Another mini im working on is a 1971 Morris mini but no deadline for this one as yet.

 The spec sounds better than the pic! I look forward to seeing the restoration.

 

 I'd love a 5 speed box, might look at getting one after I retire later this year.
