The Aim

Basically the aim was to buy a mini project that was mechanically sound but aesthetically ugly! What i ended up with was this little beauty, cough cough!!

She is a 1973 mini clubman with one major difference. She has had a heart transplant and now has 160bhp Honda Vtec engine within her subtle frame!!!

As you can see her paintwork is less than to be desired, she has minor rust spots too but nothing that is going to be too much to handle hopefully but as those people with minis know it can seem that way but until you break it down you cant really tell.






The interior is bare, no back seats, no console, no dashboard! A bike speedo for a speedometer and a ripped steering wheel.


The engine is pretty much rammed into the engine bay, not a lot of room around it.

The theme for the mini is black and orange as these are my company colours and i will be putting my company name etc on it once it is finished.

Here is a small list of things that need doing:

Paintwork

Wheels

Dashboard

Centre Console

Steering Wheel

I.C.E

New Boot

Aggressive Bonnet

New Wheel Arches

Tidy up Grill and Paint

Company Decals

Over the next few months and possibly years these will slowly but surely take place, in fact at the time of writing the new wheels are on but the wings and bodywork need to be adjusted to fit them in properly!!
