Nearly RIVI time!!!

[mini_mad69]

Nearly yeah, given up on getting the box in for newquay. Will be nice to have the helical drops for the trip down anyway.


So just make it presentable is the plan for now. I didn't have the time i wanted to spend on the rear, so just throwing some colour on it for riv run.




Rear repairs primed.

over 500 miles done for riv run.

Only problem was it was a little smokey.




Rear repaired.....it came out ok. I'll put some checker graphics to cover up any imperfections.



Cleaned and ready to go.



Made it to riv no worries.


I also had a go in a turbo mini and got my enthusiasm back to get it done. I'll bolt some of my new bits on and update later.

[mini_mad69]

oh yeah, turbo oil feed arrived, I have the return silicone hose aswell, just on the look out for the return plate that fits to the block.


Then, get 28cc in the head and BOOST!!!!

I almost bought that steering cowling with the rev counter on it but decided I could be assed with the hassle of wireing it in so just got one with out it lol.

Mini was looking good at Rivi mate. Looks tidy with the new grill on.

[mini_mad69]

Cheers mate. Just need to get a new bonnet, and grill surround and it'll be looking ok again.

Yeah they are, probably around 1.5 degrees, im doing it more for looks than handling unfortuatly, i have never had any issues with the rear end grip of the car.
