FTO AUSTRALIA

Thought you folks might like some of these...
As you may know, my other passion besides FTO's is Minis.
This is one my old man & I have painstakingly restored over the last 8 years... Its original in every detail - down to the hubcaps. It just came out of the shop - some minor mechnical adjustments were made - and its absolutely filthy but its just about finished! Goes hard too! We haven't driven it for so long, we sort of 'forgot' about the big cam we put in it Some good shots, especially the old vs new shot!

I'm in love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its looks like the FTO had a root around and producted that little baby, I'm questioning what nationality the FTO slept with to produce such a dark little lady!

Drool, drool, drool...

Class

as you know I have a hankering to get playing with an original Cooper S, nice bit of work there Ben, I assume this isn't the nitro breathing monster?

That is so cool!

Looks just like the one my parents had when I was younger, except their one was white with a black roof and had mags. Absolutely awesome car - probably still the most fun car I've ever driven...

Until some scumbag stole it and set fire to it

Hey Ben, is it you in the photo?

LOL - nah thats my old man in those shots.

And no, its not the nitro monster....

This is!! (Apologies for rubbish quality shots)

what a cute little car

Who's calling who poor?

Apologies to dig up such an old thread, but now that the last project is finished (refurbing the boat) I've just started back on my old mini!

Finally got hold of some parts that I needed to finish up the diff, and considering that's all the engine is waiting for to be completed, this project is back on.

Getting the body delivered in the next week or 2. In the mean time, enjoy some of the old & new pics!
