1380 mini

Hi Looks like a nice engine build, I really should put an x pin diff in mine but I have to build up the courage to take the motor out and change the diff especially as there are no oil leaks just now. I ran a swiftune sw5 cam in the end but have got a 286 scatter to try in it at some point, would be...

Mini City E

I had bought a 1992 SPI cooper mini to restore, and to cut a long story short it was totally rotten and beyond saving, So I stripped it and used the engine and interior were used to upgrade another mini. This Mini started life as a 1982 mini city e in blue. The previous owner had painted it Orange a...
