Mini Thirty 998 Project by Andrew O

3 minute(s) of a 148 minute read

I haven't updated in a while ( If anyone is even following ) so here is what i have been doing recently .

This is the 1100 engine that came free with the car and i thought i would give it a clean up and paint and try and get some money for it.



Here it is after i painted it. I think it came out pretty good. I managed to get £175 for ( Very happy ) it and that went in to the project budget.



I stripped down the radiator cowling ( Forgot to take a before photo ) and primered it ready to be sprayed blue.



Im now waiting for parts to arrive before i can go any further which include -
LCB Manifold, Sportex centre exit exhaust, Mini speed inlet manifold, Blue silicone hoses, Radiator,Full set of Gaz shocks, Full set of bushes

I would love to know what everyone thinks off my project and if they have any tips or advice for me so don't be afraid to share your opinions ( That is if any one is actually reading this )
Thanks again, Andrew
