LONDONSHIRE

Whilst out on tues day looking for some parts for the mayfair, i went to a little garage that used to 'do' mini's when they were good buisness and still plentyfull,anyway they have tons of min and metro parts,so thats where i went for a rocker cover and a few over little bits,

As i was leaving i noticed the clubman tucked up in the corner,went over to have a look and it turned out that it was the same one that was down the road from me in peckham,always parked on the street facing the same way.....

The lady that owned it had enough with people breaking into it and trying to steal it,but they never actually managed to get it away,so they stole her bike instead :(
So she called the garage and they came to pick it up, then had to drive back and get a steering wheel as the other one had been broken into 2 parts!

So i offered him some £3000 he said yes,and i picked it up the next day, STILL taxed and MOT'd until september!
only downsides to this whole thing is thatit handles like a cruiseship,the reverse is.....lazy, and the heater dont pump warm air out....



Revo's are coming off as il be sticking my GB's on it , as well as hilos new shocks, minifins and some alloy 4pots,
then il do some bodywork on it, but in the meantime,il be fitting the clutch master and pedal box, 8mm fuel lines,inside ,and the fuel pump and Reg....

Looks a good base for the money.

Mine cost £400 from down your way. No engine, and the shell turn out to be garbage...

Bargain!

If you only live just up the road from where it was getting broken into, I'd be buying some security for it...snap off steering wheel for one!

Sorry, it was down the road from where i used to live, near old kent road,
but yes an alarm is on the books,
as is a kill switch when the mega jolt is fitted...

clutch pedal,hi los, minifins, new rear hubs,new rear shocks, and fuel pump fitted today.
and tank removed,for now...

tomoro i shall be moving the wiper motor inside to make space for the coilpack as this is how it was on the pickup, get the turbo engine out of the subframe, and the frame stripped ready for blasting and powder-coating.

And try to fit the fuel reg somewhere,
might start fitting the MJ in, if i get a chance.....

had to revise the breather system a tad, as it seems to breath heavy,but with the tin rocker cover all seems well,
makes makes boost very low down,
turbo needs changing for something larger mayber, or just less smoky....
