My project mini
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi guys, hope you are all well.

I'm a bit bored at the moment (waiting for a lift to the pub!) so I thought I would upload some pictures of my new project.

Soon (circa Avon 2007!!) it should be a nice steady turbo thou.

Anyway, you can see I'm not too far along with it at the moment and it's more a collection of parts than a car.

Your comments and ideas are most welcome.

Gaz.

This is it when it was a seven racer, many years before my ownership...

So far I have collected these bits for it, I don't want to rush the build as I am hoping to learn quite a bit from it.


Not to keen on these, just heard they are last years model!!

So thats, where I'm at. Currently painting the underside and then giving the inside a bit more paint before bolting the suspension up.

There's some nice shine lighweight parts there. what are you planning on doing using it for?

I put a post up a couple of months ago about fitting KAD rear disks, theres a few points that arn't mentioned in their instructions, might be of use to you.

Hi guys, I would quite like to have a go at sprinting, maybe a bit of hillclimbing but I will have to see how the budget goes.

I am taking ideas from a lot of cars off here as they are all so imaculatly prepared.

CRIPES!should be good

top stuff gareth

the seat mounting points look excellent if things go pearshaped

you will have an excellent car when done

one thing if you are borrowing ideas off other cars.

make sure you copy the best ideas only

Ahh i do recognise it now! i was trying to think why i should! lol!

that is one cracking shell!

ahh mr jez hunts old motor....

didn't realise he'd found a buyer, that will definitely make a nice looking car

I recognise that se7en, it used to belong to Steve Brown, a father and son team. Never a greatly successfull car but i reckon it was more driver that the machine itself.

I did the odd bit of work on the car as it was kept in a mate of mines lockup in Yeovil where i used to live.

When they got that new new, i bought there old one that i never got around to doing anything with ans eventually sold it.

Jon, I had guessed it wasn't too sucsessfull. Every time I have looked for photos of 7's this is wasn't on them, must have always been at the back of the field!!

Steve was the Dad, a top bloke that died sadly, it was his son Nick that drove it.
