New member-just saying hi

Haha, im still 16, however i have been restoring a mini for a while now, just had the block re-boared for my shiney new flat top high comp pistons 40 thou overbore:P Im pretty excited, hope i can come to some meets, see what u guys are running. The body has been sprayed in gunmetal grey, the lexus colour, when i get the wheels shot blasted and powedercoated black, they should also look the dogs wotsits. Ill post some pictures of the progress in a cuple of days.:D
 
Lol, well i best get my arse into gear need it on the road and run in by june this year. This is only a 998, however i laboured over the cylinder head for hours, the ports are now huage and shiney, have some good pistons, decent inlet manifold, LCB, bike can, mild road cam, and a 1 3/4 su. Hoping for about 60 bhp, which im sure someone will laugh at, but when in a mini its nout to be doubted, and ill build it right, so should be rev happy.
 
The shell you are looking at is a c reg mk 2 shell? And the donor car is a 89 mini city e, we got annother rear subframe of fleabay for 12 quid-bargain bucket tbh, and the rear subframe is powder coated black, along with the radius arms and brackets so the rear subframe is as new. I have recentley put the wiring loom in place-what a [Watch the language please] of a job:P and now to finnish the shell i will have to paint the bottom of the car in stonechip. Ill come to some meets in the summer to show u all it:D
Also Penski-i have some 12 inch minilites-80 quid of ebay with pirelli tyres, i cant run it on 10s unless i get 7.2 inch cooper disks which im not prepared to shell out for as they are way over budget -its cost like 800 quid so far
