Sorry but old Fords always have a place in my heart

Looking great Tony!

Getting there Richey, getting there

Well the big black brute is now gone so its been onwards and upwards with the mini . New headliner is now in as is the cage. Had some trouble with the front hubs . The wheelnuts started to spin on the studs. Well the long and short of it is the stud holes in the hubs were drilled oversize , so they went off to Lloyd to be sent back to the UK . Next on the list is to get the interior in and sort out an engine

Engine is now in







I will say i cant find some of the parts I stored, so the rebuild is going very slow
The rear wheel cylinder on the drivers side is nackered and as you can see I had to fit a new clutch slave cylinder well two years off the road will do that to rubber parts

what engine went in in the end?

The 1380 would of looked better than the 1 litre

now now bert leave him alone that 1380 would look so nice in mine if only the other mini would sell

Yes Bert it would! but what can I say I need a chat with you about that To answer your question Armo its the 998 I got off molly the mini , the one I had up for sale . I said I would put my money where my mouth is and stick it in

its coming along nicely ....i wouldnt take that engine back out ye might scrach somthing just leave it as is lol .....no seriously its lookggood at long loooooooooooong long last

Yea man, I hear ya on that one Fitted the rear wheel cylinder tonight. The old one was only on the car for a couple of months before I took the car off the road and it is locked solid.I will change the other one tomorrow to be on the safe side.

better safe than sorry ....cant wait to see it in the flesh been a long time since i seen it and it wasnt a bad car then but the improvements are paying off by the looks of things

Well it wont be getting a 1380 now will it A! Nice little motor best of luck with it Armo

Well I now have working brakes and a clutch and that snail on the back wall of the workshop has now made it all the way to the door Signed her of the road for another few months
