Past Projects

not modified

1998 - 3rd car Mini Clubman 998cc (1977 - old S reg)
modified

one of my projects was a mini clubman (1977 plate), this mainly consisted of body work, wider wheel arches, grilles / headlamps conversions, and of course trying to beat the rust. Unfortunately I ran out of funds (kept finding more rust!!) and had to abandon the project.

0-60 mph - 7 secs, Top Speed - 120+, 1/4 mile - 16.48 seconds *after some research for information of the 1.0 Side project Micra, I have come to discover that this record has yet to be beaten since the time was acquired at Santa Pod on 11/02/2001, by another micra of its kind, making it the fastest that has existed so far with such basic tuning and modifications*
