I'm shocked. I can't believe you have been so selfish. working on your own mini when there are people out there needing you help.*happy*

Well do though, looking forward to seeing it.

I reckon 105bhp should be achieveable with the spec I have.

Yes, it has taken me some time, but you have to remember that over 4 of the 6 years I have been doing it, I was at university and was a skint student, this car has also always been a side project, and so 壣 to spend on it whilst I was at university were scarce. Especially as I also had to keep the various road cars I have owned over the time going at the same time as building this one.....when it comes down to a choice between trick bits for your toy, and tyres for your road car, there is no choice is there unfortunately..........

Since getting a job, and a garage of my own to store it in, progress has increased.

The other thing that has made me take a long time is an increase in my standards, in the last 12 months I have removed parts fitted previously, as my standards now are higher than they were then.

Engine bay currently looks something like this, although there is more in there since I took this picture last week.



Pictures of the full car will be posted when it is finished and not before!!!!!

The intention is to make it look as much as possible like a standard Rover Sportpack Mini, so imagine a nightfire red Sportpack and thats what it looks like. :)
