hey all this is my first mini it started life as a standard mini 1000
and the car had mot after driving a few time thought it was a bit slow to i found a nice rally mini with a rotten shell 2 miles away from my house

it was a yellow mini with a nice 1380 engine all done for rallying with a single webber 45 carb , stright cut box and a slip in it aslo cage, bucket seats harnesses and 4 pot brakes and so on

so i put the 1380 engine in the car and took it for a drive the car went very well untill at about 70 - 80 the front end inc wings front pannel bonnet and a pannels decided to fly off and hit the screen and roof i later found out that it was all held in place with tiger seal

so this is where i decided to turn the car into a rally mini as best as i can

so i got complete new front end
kirky aluminium bucket seat
hydrolic hand brake
new rolcage made coming tho bulkhead and down to front sub
navigator clocks
new loom made to take all new switchs and light
navigator foot rest
sports pack archs
8" ultralights
fiberglass dash
bias brake valve
and a fiberglass light pod with 4 spots for bonnet
plumbed in life line
cut off switch

so i have made a start on the mini and here are some pics to show how its coming on its still in early stages at the moment
