Right, I posted up my bmw a few weeks ago and thought I should post my mini up. Wouldn't wanna leave it out. It was my first car 2 years ago and I really cant bear to part with it. It basically go thrashed and then stuck in the shed when I got my bm but a year
ago I decided to totally rebuild it. heres piccies. All the new panels have been welded on and I will get piccies at the weekend.
I love the lil machine and its done me proud so I'm repaying it by bringing it back to life Gave me heaps of fun.
Its not gonna be finished for a long time but am hoping to get it resprayed in british racing green metallic with a white roof next summer.
Lots of bits, all these panels are now on and if anyone notices the oversills they were changed and proper sills were put on instead.lol Poly bushed look cool on btw and should help handling. Also got H/D adj tie bars.
Bulkhead has no holes in it but the inner wing was screwed so a new one was put in.
This is the front subby that was in the car. keeping it as it in ac nick but the back one was worse for wear.
In my mates garage as his dad is welding it. I don't know how to....yet. This is all finished now and I'm picking it up on sat.
Bought a 1275 engine which runs sweet as and is gonna get a kent cam, stage 2 head and I am in the process of rebuilding a hif44 carb for it. its from an 80's metro but has the pre-verto clutch/flywheel which is better cos its lighter and adjustable.
Anyway, the plans are:
BRG paintjob with Old english white roof.
10" wheels on disc conversion from minisport.
2 bucket seats, harnesses and a rear cage
Poly bushed (got full set)
new rear subby.
Gaz adj shocks
Hi Los
Negative camber
eleccy fan
and lots lots more.
Any questions please ask.
