stone chips were getting bad, just simply a frshen up, it was due IMO

 

How good does that look!


PS: Is that a turbo'd mini in the background?

 

Yes mate, the lad (Rick ) who's painting Andy's car is building a proper spaceframed mini Turbo. Power should be around 220+BHP and will weigh feck all!

He may make an apperance on this thread sometime soon!LOL

Just a few ramdon ones from his photobucket for you.....














bet its not even finished for next summer!

 

sorry to sway away form the thread andy.but that mini is the bollox.thats gonna be a seriously cool toy.

 

That Mini is awesome! Seen it on a Mini forum, But can't remember which...


Would love that over anything, I really would...

 

Im sure rick will pop on here soon and tell you more about the mini!

 

Hi lads,
I dont realy post on here (dont no why) just like to keep up to speed with whats going on in the world of cosworth's. Ive had 2 escort cossys over 5yrs and a series 1 i used on weekends of my cousins but time change and ive moved on to my dream car (the porka).
Any way the mini, you may of see it on turbominis.co.uk ,its a spaceframe chassis with the remains of the steel shell over the top, its still powerd by the A series engine but with a T3 turbo on it,
Running lightend /balanced knifedged crank, rods , low comp pistons, big valve head etc
Straight cut 4 spd dog box, sailsbury plate LSD.

Right timne for bed , i must be up earlie to get on with andys car? (soz for jumping your thread mate)


Rick

Look forward to seeing Andys car,, you needed to learn to paint on something,, hey Rick Get that exhaust polished up before you refit the rear bumper too

 

Car looks stunning andy

Very cool mini, although its a brave man that extracts that sort of power from an A series for long
