my 1275 monster mini
i bought this car a while ago and debated keeping it as my new arrival came on the 24th of march
but i kept it as i love the car, so iv been fixing it over the past few months
after windows being smashed and the odd bump here and there popping up
i decided to get the finger out and do some work on it
so i tought id stick up pics of the build so far hope you like
so heres the car when i bought it
then i got my bro to paint it again as i didnt like the green
this is the car a few weeks later
car looked pretty good, and a mate that works for monster seen the car and told his boss, and 2 weeks later, his boss sent me something for the car and said if i put it on, id be looked after in the sugar department
then the wheels came , and got my wheel nuts off minionly, nice one dude
was debating this carbon bonnet but i dont know, may go for black stripes on the orange bonnet, sure we,ll see how it goes in the next few weeks if this rain holds off
got new brake discs, rotors, ball joints, wheel bearing, everything u see here is fully rebuilt, i test fitted everything and its a snug as a bug in a rug,they are all coming off and getting cleaned up and sprayed gold and silver in the next week or 2
engine is 1275 with a metro turbo gearbox, both fully rebuilt, new everything, everything was stripped apart and new parts put back in turned out well, runs sweet but needs a tune badly (bert)
also got this mini at a steal, took two hours and hurt my ribs very badly
more to come soon, will have more pictures in few day, wheels are on the car
need to do interior, have black leather seats, loads of new stuffs, cant wait, will
update fairly soon enough, cheers for looking
