Post subject:  My mini challenge
I go back to Kaniva on the 9th of january. I have until then to put a new motor in my 100 dollar mini, tidy up the inside and strip, prep and paint it! Have already bought all the stuff I need and it came to 475 dollars. It will be a metallic light maroon. Engine is a 998 believed to have been recon 10, 000 kms a go. I will post pics as I go!

I have doubts if i will get it done!!!!! :D :D , but I am sure going to try!!!!!

progress so far:

Sanded and filled half of the car.
Removed interior and windows, bumpers ect...
Engine has been removed ( anyone want a 998 block for rebuild, you can have this one with head for 30 bucks, it was making weird noises!
Monday I will sand and fill the rest of the car (by fill I mean dents not rust! :D ), Tuesday or wednesday primer and so on ect......)

Have a good xmas everybody! :D

Yes.

I have one block and head which is 30 thou over in good cond which needs new rings and bearings.

Also have a block and head which was noisy unknown condition for 30 bucks, has everything on it except ancillaries, but I havent taken them off yet.

The top block and head someone can have for 70 all up, or take both for 100! :D
