still not 100% happy with the brakes, will have a look at them, i wonder if the calliper is seized as the car has been stood for a long time, the pedal is rock hard you get piss poor braking until you really jam your foot down at which point the wheel obviously locks up. Love the colour. Sounds more like the servo to me. http://www.twin-turbo.co.uk

That little white running man means it was once sold by Miniman (run by an old mate of my dads, John Palmer) in the Midlands. Miniman only sell nice cars, no shit, so at one point it will have been very tidy.

I had a mini that had once been a miniman car. Wasn't tidy when I got it, but it had been parked up for a few years and repaired using newspaper and filler..... On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

will eventually turbo it, hence my previous thread on how turbo'able is an mpi engine.... wouldnt want to cut the bulkhead so would need to run a T2 + Mirage manifolds.

well front screen came out tonight and the lip on the scuttle is gone, it has creaped through onto the dash in a couple of places but nothing that is not fixable, just deciding if i can get away with perhaps welding a new rib in for the glass or if it is going to be a full on scuttle removal (which i dont want to do as its over my capabilities and i dont want to lose the chassis number) Edited by Richie on 16th Aug, 2009.

A full skuttle should be easy enough. Just take your time and make sure finish it of before your start something else.... On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Just take your time and make sure finish it of before your start something else.... just keep rubbing it in Andy mate whilst building the last one i had lost two members of my family and got into finacial debt (ie lose the house) on more than one occasion hard to focus on the project........but yeah i will finish one job before starting the next :)
as the whole car will need painting (outside) is it worth going back to bare metal and putting a zinc oxide etch primer on ? cheers Rosco every little helps as they say Edited by Richie on 17th Aug, 2009.

Bear in mind the MPI wings are different too Richie for the adjustable headlights.
