Hey all, just wading through some pics and found a few of my old min, just before I sold it last June - spent about 5 years bringing it up to the level it was - 1430cc, 45DCOE Weber, full flowed head, high lift cam, steel flywheel, long stroke tufrided crank, straight cut drop gears and gearset, 4 pin diff - the list goes on - had 140bhp @ flywheel and a noise just to die for!

Not quite a Ford I know but a true modified machine that deserves a look in!

 

proper nice ,


Love it

 

LOVE IT

 

very nice

 

Before fords i was really into minis, and that looks mint, A mini is also the only car i have ever owned that aint a ford, but i had 3 of them, so much fun

 

Yes they're amazing fun, surprised a few cars too with it's go. The noise from the gears, especially due to the layout of the drop gears, was just phenomenal.

 

lol ace any one seen the mini with the 2.0 xe lump in

 

certainly a diffrent way to hold the bonnet down but yeh that mini is cool

 

nice mini and clean

 

Ive always had a soft spot for minis. Its good to see them. but being 6ft 4 doesnt help. nice one mate, i bet fooking shifts.

 

Yes have seen a few of those conversions - can even get a special made up spaceframe to accomodate it!

Preferred sticking with the A-Series though, beautiful noise and to be honest much much stronger than people think. Ran this lump for 2 years and never went bang!
