Weber, Supercharger, GULP.  The motah Doesn't look like an A series, so what you got lurking in the engine bay.  That's some project you've got there.  |

yeh i realised who you were about an hour after i posted yesterday lol how is your mini coming on is it ready for paint yet has tim done anything to his yet do any of you guys now an old friend of mine that as far as i know still lives down your way his name is gareth and used to (maybe still does not sure) work in a big caravan site selling static caravans i thinkit was called something like parkside he used to have a white mini clubman 1275 with a black vinly roof that covered the back pillers as well he did then paint like a powder blue ish colour and took the vinly roof also the back window was a very small oval type thing. he also bought some kit car based on a mini with capri running gear. now this is going back quite some years but it would be nice to catch up with him if any of you know him. |

No I dont know him. My Mini is coming on really good. Got one more A-panel and wing to fit then its getting ready to paint. Been stripping the doors back to bare metal. Got a few days off this week and Tim as off aswell so we get can a good push on the Mini. Only been doing the car in spare time but the work Tim has done is really good.

just an update on my min been very busy lately with customers cars getting in the way of me working on mine well it went to the rolling road in july and subsequently spat the head gasket out while making about 107 bhp  since then it has been shelved while building the business up we have expanded into a bigger shop which now means we offer full garage services including servicing and mot prep and so on had some time spent on it again then built all the head back up and the charger back on and running now sounding stronger than ever well everyone has said that business will go quiet after christmas so i will have some time to spend on it then get it painted then built back up fingers crossed eh ill get some pics put up again soon |

Those darned customers stopping you tinkering with your project. The business will always come first though and i'm sure you'll find time to finish that beast and get to take it to the shows and meets Mike. |
