hey there ive been into minis for years and had a few including a pickup and one with a v6 in the boot i built but decided after ignoring my first mini for 2 years id get her out and try and finish her. its nearly 5 years since i got her and cost a small fortune.
she is a 1972 1275 saloon but i like ye ole 60’s look no sports pack for me. she has coilovers all round negative front arms, mk1 fiesta brakes the usual stuff. im getting the engine ready for rebuild at the mo with 286 cam big valve head possibly 1.5 roller rockert to. have 300 thou of lift to use up so may use it hehe. she will end up with mk1 rear lights black roof and the mitsubushi sophia white come the end pair of bucket seats and a cage.
hope you like may not be to everyones tase but nothing ever is.
also do welding and certain mechanical work in north essex braintree/colchester area if anyone is interested @12.50 an hour
I like your mini, i bet it will turn out to be a cracker of a mini
hoping so the paint you see in the pics was test runs on the paint was all done in my garage before i got my workshop done 3 or 4 different attempts to get the right colour might get done for next year season lol been saying that for ages tho haha
Hi lovly mini its always good to have an idea of what you want before you get one / start lol.
any way ive been asking all over the tmf and so far no luck. someone has put the holes in the rear of my mk2 so that it can have mk1 lights. but is there a way of changing it back? preferably without cutting chunks out of a another car and my own.
Cheers. ( Being cheeky, if you can help do you mind posting via pm? )
