liverpool-on-sea

picked this up from coventry last night. towed it back to liverpool on the back of me 1.8D non turbo ezzy van on a a frame which was fun lol.
ive always wanted one. its a t-bar with leather.4age 1600cc 16valve engine, bodywork isnt to bad really for one of these, rear wheel arches require refurbing but thats normal for one of these. its original except for the wheels.



so plans- well its got 12 mth mot so once i get log book (sellers couldnt find it) i can tax it and use it as im doing it up. not had a good check over it yet but ive noticed the nsr wheel isnt sat at the correct angle, and my a frame seems to have bent the nsf roll bar link rod. need to sort something out in the wheel situation hopefully might find some nice wheels on a scrappage scheme trade in in work.

then i think ill turbo it! turbo exh manifolds on ebay are £79, set of pistons out of a supercharged version of the engine and mega squirt i think.

oh all this is so long as the floor isnt totally rotten- if it is ill use it as a donor for a RWD miniota lol

That looks a tidy and straight example. They do rust quite badly under the bodykit around the arches. I once saw a lad I know bodge one to death in order to sell it, copious amounts of filler and silicone sealant.

in short yes! lol but then again so are minis so nothing we all aint used to.

had a very quick look today and im happy with it. one rear arch is rotten and already been filled, small hole in front floor, every thing else looks to be ok. has had some welding to rear inner arch area already.

i aint gonna be doing a resto on it- just tidying it up.

taking interior out tomorrow so will have a good check over

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.
