Looking good buddy, tell us more about it.

any more details

by the looks of it youve got alot of other minis to steal parts from :)

my next mini will be a clubman, really love the stance.

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

i originally brought it as a rolling project off ebay about a year and half ago. sadly i'm still learning about mini engines and dont know much specifics other than the below which was on the original listing....

"new built engine,metro turbo block bored to 1293cc,new omega pistons 5mm dish,standared turbo crank,new mains,new bigends,centre main strap,new high pressure oil pump,big vave head,polished ported,broze guides,new double heavey duty valve springs,standared t3 turbo,new avonbar 13 psi actuator,newavonbar dump valve,new avon bar 10 psi carb needle,new 2" avon bar down pipe,new group a silencer,rs turbo inter cooler front mounted,new hell oil cooler with braded hoses,new turbo clutch,recon turbo gear box with cenre oil pick up,duplex timing gear,standart turbo cam,front mounted radiator,solid engine mounts,all new gaskets and seals,and much more,i have started it and it sounds great"

atm the inside still needs a good wiring brushing, primer and coat of paint which will be done as soon as i have a nice sunnday day. also i'm running the engine in as not been on the road since 1997, so i'm driving it like a gran. when i dont a few hundred miles i'll get it properly set up and hopefully be able to play and learn what she can do for the summer.....when it gets here :)
