Turbo Mini Forums

Thanks dude but seriously getting to me now I'm out every day looking for a job proper getting stuck into it and just nothing out there I don't wanna go on the doll unless it gets to a point where I do. Don't help my depression all the stress of not working :(

Got a couple of freebies off my mate yesterday :)

10" wheel ready for banding.


Then a HIF carb is it a 38 or 44?




Thanks
Stephen

38, u can see a ring where the 44 gasket has sat

13.95 1/4 mile on a 2.95 fd. Carnt be that hard to beat!

Will it be fine for a turbo? :)

If it culd be converted. Better off just getting a 44 turbo carb

13.95 1/4 mile on a 2.95 fd. Carnt be that hard to beat!

I'm sure it could be turned out to HIF44 size in a lathe can't moan it was free

My small bore turbo project http://www.turbominis.co.uk/forums/index.php?p=vt&tid=473901

Cut the half boot floor up for repair sections. They will never fit properly as a whole repair panel.

Hey guys

The familys gone away so I've been very busy with the mini So i've cracked on and done alot :) No welding yet though :( AS no welder yet.. but i've done this.

Started off red +15 bhp


Now -15bhp...



Then rebuilt my Heater





Also been busy sorting parts and that out then desided I hated the idea of choke cable and heater cables so luckly for me I have a Heater Switch and made this for the choke cable





Looks alot better but may need to mod it to help it fit better I recon.

and now this may discust some of you but I think its a sweet idea :)

Got standard boot lid



Desided I wanted to try fit a BMW Mini light panel into it so i spent 2 hours making a template up and then double and triple checked it then cut the holes to Relise the thing don't fit :(





So gonna have to cut and weld some bits in to get it to fit but I think it look pretty damn cool when its done!

Thanks for reading
