car is looking great, if you are having problems getting out with the cage have you considered dog leg door bars, might make things easier.

That certain something wouldnt happen to be something you have been after for a long long time would it? a true rally item?

lower it with 7 x 13 anthracite deep dish cf miglia arch's

Wouldnt do that to be honest, 13s can look good but handling isnt the best, steering is heavier, and more pressure on the bearings.

keep it 998 just throw loads of money at engine

See dan, everyone is pointint you in the TRUE direction

[who_loves_the_mini?]

This is the 1071 engine you wanted? well done if it is, will be great to drive

[mad4mins]

awesome chief!!! when you hoping to pick it up??

[TimS]

Wicked... it's later now, any more new????

[JetBLICK]

Well, this morning i agreed to buy this... a 1071 's' motor... its not just any 's' motor either, apart from being a 1071, its even more speshul because its was an oselli engine, before being rebuilt by dutchspeed 3 years ago. Since its rebuild it was run in, then left for 3 years - and now its mine

These are the pics off the ebay ad, will be goin to pick it up on the 15th. Unfortunatly, i cant afford to put it in the car till the end of august, because thats when i renew my insurance, and after spending what i have done on this engine, i don't have enough to put it on the road. It needs a set of s/c drops and a cross pin diff so it can be usd with the cooper c/r box i rebuilt and it needs a few other ancillaries...

the crank and flywheel was sent off to osselli to be lightened and balanced to produce maximim power

all in all this is a very rare oppertunity to bye an extremely rare engine, it was rebuilt around 3 yrs ago then run in then removed frrom car and put into storage, it produces around 105 B.H.P and revs its nuts off to 9000 rpm


I'm not gonna say what i paid for it, but to me, its now priceless, cant wait till august now

[who_loves_the_mini?]

Glad you got it, know how much you wanted it. why dont you put it in and use it as it is whilst saving for the sc drops and other bits?

[JetBLICK]

i dont want to rush into it, i want it to be perfect when it goes in, so i wont have to keep pulling it out to change or fix it, the only time this'll come out is when it gets some form of crossflow head..... but thats not for a long long time

[Pie]
