Ticked the three easiest things off the warrant list, but removing the mirror tints was too sweet not to update about
-
Probably the biggest warrant sheet ive seen in my life, + a bhg. oh joy
Boring picless update, but I've gotta do some serious work on this thang
Cheers

Hey everyone
I basically have lurked on here forever, so have decided to take the plunge into something born before 1994
I just bought this 1979 Mini 1000, with a transplanted engine. (over exposed photos to come)
(Bad boy/no fear sticker currently waiting for some acetone and a razor
After attempting to pick it up and failing, a new alternator found its way under the bonnet
Currently it needs a new warrant, so i'll update with the list of things that need doing
Cheers
Alex

Dad's always said the only drag race he was ever in he won, his 1600 sss vs a 1200 which was supposed to be quicker. from the pictures Ive seen it was such a sweet whip

If being different is the exercise, cover your diddle in black paint and slap it all over the roof for sicck camo stz?
-
at that point is it easier to buy a shipping container and a dehumidifier?
-
Holy shit different coloured roof actually did make fender mirrors look better!! you have to do it now
I was joking about the roof making a difference, but it does make the mirrors look a whole lot better
-
waterproof fan/electronics and it could work?
-
In regards to the fender mirrors, something seems a little off to me, maybe its the silver roof
-
Recently re-tried this stz, love it to bits, probably because i am max hipster
-
when are you chucking up the FS thread?

Been slowly working on this as I learn how to do things/acquire tools
Got a new set of smaller tyres for the rear to solve a fouling problem, they look a bit nicer on the rim anyway
Currently on the hunt for a replacement bushing for the engine stabiliser, as this one got a bit chewed
Temporarily improved the overheating situation through examining the radiator to find the bottom hose only held on by hopes and dreams, so chucked it back in properly and it seems to be doing fine for now
Oil in the water solidifies the fact this thing has a BHG, but it's something i'll deal with after I get a warrant
Next on the list is to adjust the brakes and try to repair the leaking fuel pump
sidenote, found out this was originally yellow, and has a cardboard dash
Cheers
