I've owned this mini for around 5 years and for the first time since I've had it it has an engine sitting in the engine bay.
Many setbacks most of which were buying and renovating a house and leaving the mini at my parents have lead to the 5 year wait.
The fact that the 1100 engine that had been 'recoed' by the previous owner had an 1100 block 1100 pistons and a 998 crank cost an extra month and an extra thousand bucks too.
The guy at the mini shop doing all this work for me was excited to discover that along the way I had managed to get the best looking 12G295 sprite head he has seen in many years. He reakons my 998 running gear in my freshly bored and honed 1100 block should go pretty damn well.
Hopefully it will be started and running tommorow. I'm getting a little bit excited.
Yahoooooo. :P
