Right well I haven't been on here for ageeees. I thought i'd post up a few pics of my cars (you may have seen some of them).
This is my first car.
Its a 1979 mini 1275gt. I bought it as a heap and spent a few months re-building it. It has a new front end, roof skin, door skins......
The engine slightly modified and is now basically a fast road 1330cc setup.
I have now taken this off the road as I have just started my first year at uni and I'm not too keen on leaving it where I am.
This has been an ongoing project for the last 5 years, since I was 13. I was hoping to have it done by now
.
Basically it is a heavily modified mini city. I know many of you will hate the styling, with a passion
, (bear in mind i started when I was 13 ) I would have done things differently if i was starting now and built a sleeper. I wasn't originally planning on building a 16v mini but then just over a year ago I spotted the engine in a swift gti in the scrappers. I measured it then went back and bought it the next day ;D.
The engine
My custom subframe
The engine in the car (nearly)
The car
I have got loads more pics of the 'zuki conversion if anyone is interested, showing things like mocking up engine mounts etc.
And finally my golf. I have just bought this, so not touched anything on it yet. This is my replacement for the mini whilst I am at uni. Its a 1.6 ryder.
