That's one of the few benefits of having an older car. You can strip them down abd rebuild them without the need to be an electronics genius
How long did it take you to change the head.

i thought so! that's one hell of an a-series!

cheers and just to think, that's not the biggest wheels you can fit :!:

Well, it's finally done. including the Kenlowe electric fan upgrade

everything torqued up and double checked. and it's amazing the power difference that fitting the stage 3 head and removing the pump driven fan makes, and at how effortless everything has now become.

here are some photos from early this morning, till about 12:00ish











Racing spec fuel pump;




i then realised that i hadn't taken any photos of the miglia arches offered up on the mini, so went back out there, taped them on, took the photos and here they are;

[Daniel]

Well today was very very eventful in a great way

all wheel arches have been cut and folded for 3 of the 4 arches that are now on the car after having brackets fabricated out of some 18 guage steel. 8)

I'll let the photos speak for themselves

Starting from this morning;

Arches offered up;







Old arches removed, and some fibreglass matting;



The workmate and board for the fibreglassing;



Front arches cut;



Arches now affixed to the car;









low and wide; 8)



Nice eh

then tomorrow, all we have to do, is do some mild fettling to the nearside arch and then fix that on, ready for a good wash.

Looking good mate, good days work. Look forward to seeing it in action

[Daniel]

Cheers guys

after the other one's fitted i'm going to take it up to the garage and give the mini a power wash, to get all that metal dust off :roll:

looks like you have been busy, and the new wheels look much better and suit the car.
