well, brought my 1977 leyland mini back in 2005 and started stripping it down back to the bare shell, the plans where to rebuild the 850, new paint job, new suspension, disk conversion etc, got to a point and lost interest for about a year and went traveling spending more money than i had!!
I eventually got back the end of 2007 and found some inspiration and got cracking again, got it painted, engine in and back on its wheels.
So heres some pictures of the nearly finished car.

Before, middle, and after









not much more to do now, i also just got myself a metro turbo lump of ebay for a steep £75 *hehe!* that will be rebuilt and stuck in one day in the next year (fingers crossed)
cheers for looking.

These new modern turbos with their quick spool up time, would make the competition harder.

thanks everyone, didnt think there would be this much interest! haha, the colour is simply "rover grey", cant think what the code is, i just picked it out of some colour chips, i didnt like it when i first put it on but i grew to like it.
