[mini93]

[camp freddy]

I really need to sort that front number plate out its STILL cable tied from SMD
I was floating about, looks like u took the pic not long after I got there... no flyers, and the yellow Mini is still beside me...

That blue Pickup next to me, we were having a little race down the country lanes Shame u didn't get a piccy of the Hydrolics on the back lol - or it looked like it was on hydros anyways...

did notice the zip ties had a nosey round your motor not in bad nick is it,
came back later on but you had gone.
where you there when the ambulance turned up ??

[Dog]

Yeh I saw the reason why it turned up, some Bini Driver fainted on the Drive way - caused a small tail back, but Nev - and I kinda drove past them on the grass....

Not bad is it Not bad at all for a 40yr old Motor!!! Nice to hear someone say something nice about him.
I am going to put him away for the winter one of these weekends, as all I need for my engine now is a clutch, and clutch cover, and my FD changed, and its done

The dropping the subframe, and the fun begins

Hey all!!
Just thought I'd start a new thread for my '68 Mini Van...

First off here he is...




more pics when he arrives tomorrow

But hes VERY original - even have the original seats!!!

Updates I'm going to do is bigger engine - will be updating as I build - with a Rob Walker 286 scatter cam'd 1380
Also going to swap the wheels to my Matt black KN Murcary's


Few more tweaks on the inside;
Cobra Classic Buckets
Momo Steering wheel
Some proper gauges - Oil Pressure, Water temp, VAC, and rev counter
and a 3000w ICE install...


I'll be updating this thread as I build the engine - already started some from the other project - but there we go...

Mart

they were probably surprised to see so many proper minis still around
