No worries I’ll get the camera out before it goes and take as many as possible.

I will miss the scooby but an impending wedding also adds to the reason!! women .

Classic mini ftw, it’s a B16a2 lump from a del sol Sir, so 170bhp in a tin can basically... going to continue the carbon theme on that one too, roof, doors, flip front, bonnet and smoothed boot lid etc. it’s not going to be cheap, but I want this to be built to show winning standards; that way I’ll get good money come re-sell. Not much will stay standard as with any car I get! probs going S2000 speedo and dash to bring it up to date also. That’s about it spec wise for now, until i find something else I like lol.

Have contemplated new mini as they are awesome to drive, few snaps of the Gf's old one here:-

A few shiny pictures - Mini Torque

I'd like to see those pics as well please.

 

another question re: the centre console.
Looking at the clocks and dash its the later 99 spec?
But the console doesnt loook like the standard layout, or have I missed a trick here?

 

hiya, power fc, is it a 3 plug model for the yellow connector type? Does it have the hand controller or just the ecu?

 

Its the standard facelift dash that came with the car, but the centre section has been moved around to fit everything in

Will send the pictures or post them up for you also.

Going with the shell i'm afraid. Although I do have a commander for the version 5-6 type Power Fc if anybody is interested??

thanks

 

Mate it sound like a nutty idea to me, all i can say is ensure those turrets are ******* solid, as i built a Nova SR with a turbo calibra lump a long while back and i sheared the turrets right off, even after countless hours of welding after a 6 months it tore them apart again lol......it was the best bit of fun i had though. (it was part owned by my mate)

Mini looks cracking, the seats didn't look like standard seats, but then again i don't pay to much attention to the new minis, as the wife tends to go on about them and its off putting i'm sure you know what i mean.

S2000 clocks sounds like loadsa wiring and keeping you busy i would say, at least it will keep you out of trouble.

Thanks in advance for agreeing to take some pics for me and peanuts.


I believe you will find that the ash tray has been modded creating the extra space for being able to jig around.

 

Repeat Post due to comp crash.

Oh and all this chit chat will keep the thread ontop so BTTT

get in line m8 lol
its awesome 1st thing i wanted when saw pics

 

Not willing to split i'm afraid, its all or nothing as i don't want to be stuck with one guage! Pillar pod is staying with the shell also.

Thanks


The dash is going with the shell i'm afraid guys. Just wish i had another 10 as i'm sure i could have sold them all

Will start a new thread later to clear up what's been sold and what's still available.

Thanks guys

 

Ok any updates? Oh and any joy with those pictures?

 

Didn't go near the car the weekend as i had to lay a path (oh the joy), need to take some more pictures this coming weekend though so will hook you both up with interior shots then

Feel free to PM if you want anything specific or close-ups etc.

I actually told you a little porky the other day too as i'm keeping the fuel pressure regulator for the mini and the injectors and rails I reserved for somebody else along with the tubby, totally forgot so by bad. Too many Pm's not enough brain cells my apologies for that.

New thread can now be found here

Will update this one as shell priority has now passed; title is a little more apt too.

Cheers guys
