mini Red hot turbo project
Turbo Mini Forums

I take it coil pack, leads and edis 4 unit I can get them all from an early Ford?

just thought i would show a few pics of where the car is at now and how it was when i started.

day i brought the car and as the shell progressed




















after the 1000 engine let go i decided to take it off the road for the turbo conversion and do a few other bits



















migila arches still need to be fitted

Well thats where the shell is now just waiting for some more progress with the engine

hope to get it running soon

anyone like or dislike?? my first mini project and done everthing myself learning by giving it a go.

any constructive critisisum??

Looks good mate, I do think miglia arches will be a bit overkill unless you plan on fitting wider wheels.

one day boost will be mine!

it has some 12x6 revs on there im thinking of fitting some 15mm wheels spacers just on the rear the fronts are perfect and fill the arches but rears just need that bit extra.

some of the older pics have 12x5 revs but now been changed to 6

thanks for the comments Wez

Well haven't done much to the shell lately been concentrating on the engine and its looking ok. Just waiting for the x pin diff now then it can go in.......yay
