I really need to get my mini back on the road...

Love the look of this.

You defintely should! As much as I winge and moan it doesn't half make me smile on pretty much every journey!

My latest haul!



I don't really know why I bought them, I'm a terrible hoarder.

They are recliners though...

Just throw out one of the sofas & leave them in the lounge!

So if anyone was wondering you can fit a subframe in the back of a mini!

Always thought they bolted on underneath....

I heard that too! But some inconsiderate person had already taken up that spot with another one!

The eagle eyed among you might have spotted I swapped in my newly acquired seats, they're ugly but my god are they comfy! Made my 500 mile trip this weekend enjoyable rather than bareable!

Tonight we have another issue of stuff that goes on a mini, in a mini!



Just need to get a subframe in there now...

Who needs a van when you have a Mini...?!

Exactly! Even managed a subframe as well!

So it's all been a little quiet recently as the GT has been running alright. Well apart from the steady decline of a suspected knackered cylinder head! 

 

So I finally bit the bullet and whipped the bugger off! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hmmm that doesn't look good...

 

 

 

Can you spot the problem! 

 

 

It would seem for the miles and type of driving I'm doing, lead additive really isn't up to much cop! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cylinders 1-4

 

 

Block's nice though!

 

 

 

New head ready to go courtesy of Jonspeed.

 

 

 

All connected back up.

 

 

And running! Got a little cold...

 

 

 

Cold air intake anyone?

 

 

 

Jobs a goodun.

 

I can say after the 130 mile trip home it's a transformation. It's so smooth and pulls, it really pulls. Needs setting up now!

Good work again! Block (& new head of course!) looks really good! Are you going to rebuild the old head?

That should do the trick. I do miss the frost out here in SA, summer doesn't do it for me.
