1293cc gt2056 build
Turbo Mini Forums

Just thought id put something in hear of where I am at the moment and try and keep it updated..
Well started last year went at good pace for a few weeks but but got pushed back with my car on road messing me about so had to spend my money on new one.

here's car just after i started front end was off and engine out



Then took delivery of the metro turbo engine.. In need of rebuild (take note of the complex engine trolley system to move it to garage)


Engine was stripped down
Engine bored out ready for my omega 10cc pistons
Cylinder head sent to benross for reworking (definitely recommend)
received cylinder head and decided that I'd try be abit different and not paint cylinder head red lol


but now 8 months later with only a little progress
Have bought my fibreglass front end ready.. (bought off someone on hear on Saturday.. Emailed 12am left in morning 3hour drive and picked up 2pm haha impulse bought)


Stripped to near bare shell searching for hidden rust (surprisingly little only new full scuttle, and a-panels then just bit of tidying on seams and what not needed)


Crank is in engine, rest being built this week as I got week off work (note still using the dodgy blue engine paint lol)


Only this week has the decision been made to use a gt2056 and am currently waiting on mine I bought off benny on here then I'll be get it rebuilt

Then once funds are ready will be getting sc box done by benross

Much more to be done luckily no rush so will be done properly

You will not be dissapointed, good luck
