I have decided to part with my beloved mini as it wont be ready in time for me driving (1 month).

The shell:
In the past it has had the rear 1/4's remoulded and widened.
The roof has been lowered at the back (standard front screen).
The whole mini has been de-seamed + de-bumpered to a very high standard.
The wings have been remoulded and are now wider.
It is all steel (no fibreglass).
I have smoothed the boot lock off and used an internal bonnet release off a subaru to open the boot.
I have been told that the structural body work has been done by 'Garrett t3' off this forum.
It comes rolling on 13x7 superlites with very good bridgestone tyres with 2 new subframes.
Heavy duty adjustable tie-rods on front + Poly bushes and hi-los all round.
It has a turbo bulkhead box in and ready to go aswel.
Come with ALOT of spare parts aswel.
As far as I can see there is no rust what so ever. It needs painting.
The shell is registered as a 998 and it is a 1972 austin mini.

The engine:
1275 metro turbo engine in very good condition running a t3.
I bought this engine about 6 months ago, it had a full rebuild approx 3 years ago and had been sat on someones garage table since I bought it.
I stripped the engine and recently rebuilt it with new gaskets and checked everything over to make sure it was all good.
Just needs the clutch bolting back on and that will be it.
It will come with a new renault 5 intercooler and oil cooler.

Pics:









and a pic from when i bought it with a smiley face magnet on wings to show its all steel.


Can also get pics of engine if needed.

Looking for a first car that wont cost a fortune on insurance.

Saxo/ 106 etc in good cond.
Also would like an astra van, just something nice really.

Located in Blackpool

Thanks, Robbie

I bet my first wank came quicker than your first mini turbo


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