One for Mini lovers, (Ted)
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
One of the mechanics where I worked fitted an 1600cc Astra engine into his old mini - a tunning firm sold a complete front subframe conversion kit that enabled the upgrade. Only extra machining needed was to have the Astra drive shafts shortened.
Can't remember what wheels he was able to fit at the front.
After about a year of ownership he sold it on e bay. It was written off by the new owner on his journey home.
Matt_Harrington:
Ooh, the nostalgia of Minis. I remember you were either a Ford man or Mini man back in my youth. I had many s's and even scrapped a 1071s - oh the sacrilege!
Look up a mate of min on Google - 'Harvey Death Mini' that is some beast - not Harvey, the Mini ;)

Be even worse if it was a 970 S.
Orcade-Ian:
Still got mine after all these years. 20 years ago I put all of the bits of a crashed Cooper LE into the shell I'd had for almost 30 years - including all the injection stuff.

Rear door from a Reliant, rear lamps Mk5 Cortina estate.
With the passengers seat removed, my coffin will fit for the final blast!

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Amazing how did you think of a Reliant tail gate - looks better than the standard pair of doors plus they will not rust.
Looks neat Ian - did you do the work to make the tailgate fit -respect?
Stallard badge on the boot - a new name to me. Back in 1968 there was a bloke in Derby had a white Ogle Mini at the time it looked stylish - like this one.
