Shropshire.

Got the mini out of the garage for the 1st time this year, thought I would show you the progress from the winter jobs.

Its booked in for its mot a week Monday and the tax arrived last week so thought I would give it a shake down..

During the winter the engine was pulled and a small oil leak fixed, few little tweaks like in car switch-able boost levels. It now sports a new front end, did away with the home made one (from a 1 piece), opted for a new curley one.



Plumbed in all new water hoses with an in-line temp take off, and a nice heater tap from DNS. The intercooler pipe work was reworked slightly to reduce the overall length.



The doors have been chopped about a bit and some new polycarbonate windows added.



Carbon bootfloor, a force racing fuel tank and a new fuel filter.



sucked the tank filler necks in to the body, and most the panels have had a repaint..



can finally get out and drive it again now.. fingers crossed it passes the mot again. *smiley*

cheers, Mark.

true - i could have taken more out of the doors.. but to be honest they are past their best and will be replaced next year - couldn't be bothered to drill them out any more, will do for this year tho.

These new modern turbos with their quick spool up time, would make the competition harder.

is that one those DSN heater take off's on the head mark? i've been looking for a nicer solution for mine but wasn't sure if they'd clear the rocker cover being mounted the wrong way round.
