That looks great! Although I can't help thinking that it would lok better with retro rally wheels, like Wellers or something, as opposed to those modern Compomotive multispokes.

Pretty cool, but not my cup of tea.
Mini's were built to have an A series in. It may be a massively flawed and outdated engine, but I love the sound of twin SU's breathing through K+N pancake filters feeding a greedy 286 cam and gasflowed head and driving a straight cut box as it belches out of an RC40 exhaust
I'm sorry, I got a bit carried away, all the things I cant afford

Yeah I agree. Mini's that don't have A / A+ series engine's aren't really Mini's!
The sound of twin SU's is pretty cool, but the sound of a Weber 45 is much better!

 I like long walks, especially when they're taken by people I don't like. |

True, but I CBA to cut a hole in the bulkhead to fit it in

Took me about an hour to cut the hole, modify a battery box and weld it in place  |

I completely agree with you. The only reason I did it was because of a small rust hole in the bulkhead - fitting a weber box meant that I could cut it out and replace it with new metal.

I fit Strombergs on things because the voices in my head tell me to! ;D Hows that for an excuse?

You can't argue with lunacy!

nooo, I can't rally it, it's an original GT, it'll be worth a packet one day. The rally car is the next project, GT rally car replica  |
