Real Mini

leave it looking stock and do the VTEC conversion. would be a right little sleeper!

nice, everyone loves minis

thanks guys, appreciate it, got lots fo work ahead of me, first of its engine and body work. gotta find decent parts to replace the bad bits with now

I maybe interested brooky, your not far from me at all. whats wrong with your poor mini?

edit: ooo yeh forgot to mention battery was dead so i charged it up, no go, so jumped it this morning and it went, so happy, turns over everytime now so all is good and it seems to be running fine as well, just need to give it a service =)

if you are anywhere near kettering/desborough there is a scrappy in desborough called frank beale vehicle dismantlers was in there saturday and he has 5 or 6 classic minis all in various states, you should be able to get some good bits off of them. They're not long in so should be too bare!

They won't fit unless a set of S brakes (7.5") or 7.9" discs with 4 pot calipers are fitted as well.

You would need 13" alloys to fill the Sportspack arches but a lot of people don't like the way the car handles afterwards. You also need to cut the fron wings. 10" alloys have been fitted with the Sportspack arches but the car may end being real low for it to look right.

Discs? What are those?

Gotta have 'Minifins' finned drum brakes on the front. 10" Cooper S steelies go on a treat then

Aye, they do, but going from 8.4" discs to double leading shoe drums is a bit of a backward step?

go for the four pots and the Kad rear disc conversion

My mini...well its dead,i stripped it to do abit of restoration, and i found **** loads of rust and filler/firbreglass, so i got the angle grinder out..........Then i got a cinq and have totally lost intrest in the rusty mini it a shame because they are great..and it is a JetBlack edition.

Doesn't your missus get jealous when you cum all over the front of it?

shes a little beauty!, ive always wanted one od these since i was a kid.. id do the vtec conversion on it though, imagine that for power.,lol, theres also the hyabusa conversion to get rear wheel drive.,

Saw a vtec conversion mini at the autosports show last weekend. One was for sale for 20k

Man after man own heart. Love the old mini's. Yeah, bike engine in the back would make it the funnest car in the world.

i recognise that username....

nice mini!!

Thanks guys

got lots planned, firstly thinking about a turbo 998 but that would be after the rest of the car is spot and and rustless lol.

Though not done much atm, dam weather

ooo hello bean, i love your mini

Well after a long awaited update.....

money has gone in, in abundance, to a certain extent, so im gonna book it in tomorrow to have some body work done, hopefully before end of month. I want ti roadlegal by the 2nd may probably wont happen though lol.

It needs:
New Front Panel
2 New Wings
2 New doors
1 Roof Skin
Body filler on slight dents.

Now ill be sending it in to have the front end done (wings n panel) as the doors i can sort. The roof skin is also too expensive for me atm gonna be a fair wack, mainly labour.

Also off out to get my self a compressor and spray gun soon, cheaper to spray my self until the car is completely how i want it, then ill get a full respray in originaly colour, i think, tempted by something fancy though

also had some good news, £80 for a full set of tyres for the steelies. So thats a good thing

bad news, ran out of petrol
