Thought it was time to share my build
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi guys,
Thought it was about time to share my project.
Right well she started off when she came to me as a 1986 city shell and nothing else.
I started by sourcing some subframes stripped them down and replacing everything on them - this started the project as I seemed to go on.
Everything I had if it was no good it was replaced.

I then stripped the underside of her and was pleasantly surprised by the condition of the shell, overall all it's been a slow project for the last 2 years until January when I shook myself up and said right I want it done for Himley!

So since then it's been a push getting the front welding necessary repairs where needed (not much) and full respray in old English White with a black roof.

Then got her back and the real challenged started I've had her back 3 weeks and managed to get a fair bit done.

Anyway I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking take a look below - the last picture is where she's at now which I had her out and running the weekend


Thanks in advance, Dan

Let me know if the link works too

BHP sells engines, but Torque wins races!

It passed!!!!!!!
Over the moon

Found out though seems to be under fuelling to me in the higher rev range as it's fine up until about 3000rpm.

After that is coughs splutters and just drops out.

Does this sound like fuel or a mapping issue with the megajolt?

Thanks in advance Dan
