Blimey! Are they meant to be shiny like that?

I don't think that's natural... where's the coating of oil and rust? Why isn't it leaking? Nooo

It looks beautiful mate, truly stunning. Can't wait to see the entire whole car all in one piece

Does it run ?

It doesn't have to - surely you can't be hiding it in a car?

Non standard screw-on oil filter - tch tch. Nicely painted though.

can not see a problem myself with screw on oil filters, makes it nice and easy to change, move with the times or stay in the 60`s LOL

engine looks luvverly Steve!

Actually, Mini filter housing is a good idea, turns changing the oil and filter from a pain to a pleasure.

Ah but at least the brakes are Period - and they WORK !

Post by **bigginger** » Tue Jan 24, 2006 9:26 pm

So does the oil filter. I gather the Mini used one too (?) making that 'period' as well.

LATER The early Minis didn't, and I've no idea when/if they changed, so I retract that bit if it's rubbish

Are you entering it in the next Tate Modern.
It beats unmade beds and dead animals easily
