Bad obsession. Yes i have looked on minor mania it is a great little site

. The engine pic is from the site!
As for the look i will be going for......
Ill start with a little story. I am about to turn 19 in just over a week and am having a bit of trouble with car insurance. After spending a week working on a minor in a friends garage i quite like the simplicity and style of the minor. After asking others on the site about insurance i feel i am looking at under £1000 with a few mods which is more than £900 less than what i am currently getting quoted. I am about to join the owners club and get a quote from footman james. Following this quote if it is good i will probably be buying a 2 door saloon. with a little help from my knowledgeable friends.
Right onto the car ;)
On purchasing the car there are a few plans that i would like to put into place:
Full roll cage
Race seats
Disc brakes
Suspension upgrade front and rear
New grill
Custom fiberglass dash and a centre console inc gauges, stereo etc.
Custom ice enclousure in rear nothing too heavy to blunt performance
Strip out back seats
Type 9
Escort axle
New wheels
Engine bored to 1220cc cooper head, inlet, exhaust, 1 1/2 carb, cam, timing gear, flywheel. Just to give me a bit more go until i get a yrs no claims then ill prob put a 4age in ;)
What you think? Criticisms welcome.
Thanks
Tom
