	Hi everyone, Haven’t really said much since I joined I know, firstly due to “Doing uni work” secondly coz I don’t know much. Here is my 1972 850 mini, well these pic’s show the 1ltr that’s gone bang. So that’s coming out and the re-built 850 engine is going in (well not re-buil yet, still under a sheet in the depths of the garage.) its not perfect by any stretch of the imagination but I have chased most of the rust, last year had the frount wing, floors and sills replaced, along with the driver rear arch (inner and outer). The old direct gear stick is going back in, hopefully with the re-built engine, fast road cam and twin carbs(maybe). I want to stick with the styling about when it was made and as the car is 15yrs(ish maths nt my thing)(neither is spelling) older than me , soo any tips? Pics? Anything reli, dos and dint’s! what set up handles best ect cheers i153.photobucket.com/albums/s225/gav850/DSC00068-1.jpg i153.photobucket.com/albums/s225/gav850/DSC00075.jpg i153.photobucket.com/albums/s225/gav850/DSC00072-1.jpg i153.photobucket.com/albums/s225/gav850/DSC00066.jpg

	thats is gorgeous i love unstated minis, all id suggest is a set of adjustable spax dampers, piece of cake to fit and really do improve cornering, made the world of difference to mine. ps if u wanna sell those door cards let me know.
