Hi Everyone,

I purchased my mini a few months ago, in currently lives in a barn as i'm at university up in edinburgh. So far a have done a few bits to her, she needed a new lower engine staberliser as the old one had sheered off.

Here are a few pics

I have some mechanical experience and i have never worked on a more fiddley car! Over the summer i am hoping to turbo the mini as it has had the bulkhead conversion done, if some one would be so kind as to list the relevant parts that i would need that would be great!

As far as i know the mini has:-

Clubman Front End
Break Servo
Metro 4 Pots
Grooved Discs
Braided Hoses (run inside the car)
Copper Fuel Lines (run inside the car)
1275GT Engine
Straight Cut Drop Gear (sounds great)
Uprated Springs and Shocks
'Mini Play' Exhaust
Full Role Cage
Cobra Bucket Seats
Snap Off Stearing Wheel
13"x7" Ally Cay Alloys
Full Length Rag Top

My main form of transport is this car here:-

clio is a great car, but the mini is far more 'direct'.
