BMW K1 twin cam 16 vlave motorbike cyl head on mini donk with T028 & "Autronic" engine managment system all into early mini with "Bill Buckle" Fastback Monaco roof comments anyone???
finding hard to choose a colour tho Oh,,, sorry Sprocket,,, Note the date posted Maybe it was all done with smoke & mirrors,,, or better still,,, maybe it was just photoshopped or something OH!!! & by the way,,, it all wasn`t fabricated in "That" day mate It took some time to complete, so i guess it must have been produced quite a while earlier than the date posted hey? Or maybe you don`t believe that either??? crickey mate,,, for the sake of a few dits of wire & a fuel pump it would have been a runner well before anyones,,, but that`s what i call time in the refining before rushing out & claiming "First" rights sorry to everyone else but i just felt the need to vent at Sprocket for his accusations at me in the flow figures thread Not the date posted Sprocket... The maybe have a try at understanding how long that took to make,,, & then maybe note what Jimster said imediately after it,,, not even close to having a turbo one in site yeah??? (no offence Jimster, i love you to death mate) maybe i am speaking absolute rubbish yeah??? www.miniman.com.au

,,,,But still there`s way way more to do to the body yet, so we`ll concentrate on that area for now & get it ready to accept the donk again, then wire it all up & shove it onto the dyno for a "play"
