I guess it's about time to get a few pictures of this project going.

I swapped this car for my 1971 Turbo Mini which I collected in England a few years ago.

It is originally a 1967, which was imported from Sweden 8 years ago. The car is freshly painted, but the bodywork done is very lousy. However, I'll keep it like this until I get the first dent or two...

Bootlid fitted with fancy pip pins and fancy American indicator lenses:


New grille etc.


When drilling already painted hinges for pip pins you need a proper jig *wink*


Next in line is rebuilding the subframes.

So far, thanks Rich at Minispares and Tim at Minimail..

Will you have to paint the engine a different colour?? Green on Green might be a bit much ?

BTW - I took my buddy VTEC Pete out for a spin this weekend, and even though I am running her in, he gave it a name, the "Brocket"...cause I'm a brocket maaannn, nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah....

Wow v did you build the engine?

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!

Yes. There is a problem as the AFR was 10:1 at that run. Also, the power was too low down. I had to leave the engine at the dyno so there's hopefully more to come.

Most motorsport places sell pip pins. Different lengths and different diameters.

I am using a R clip for my FG boot. :)
