Wo0kie Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 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 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wo0kie Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 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 Alex 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wo0kie Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 Ticked the three easiest things off the warrant list, but removing the mirror tints was too sweet not to update about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wo0kie Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 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 Alex 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
