Mini!

Amazing what a good clean of an engine bay can do. Well done!

Very nice looking mini, I have to agree with Leon about the thermostat housing, I've never seen one like that before.

Hmmm..
How so ?

The circular flange that mounts to the head is not of the standard design.

Take a look at mine in this pic

Looks like someone did a great job of turning one and welding on the neck for the radiator pipe. Local ingenuity

I seriously like the look of the one on Kailums mini, but then again I'm known for liking unusual and strange mini related things (my choice of carbs for instance)

Thanks guys!I was a bit delayed there , havent paye'd attention to the thermo housing  , The previous owner should get all the credit. Iam still in the process of finding out what "all" has been done to the motor.
I took her for a quick spin sunday afternoon after like a 2 weeks of standing and discovered that thee carbs were out of tune (possibly my tinkering) , put foot down in high gear and it gulps air and all power goes.... 

We tinkered with the carbs and got atleast one final good run... Was sitting with a huge smile from ear to ear.

Twin carbs can be a right pain in the backside but when setup well, they're phenomenal to enjoy.
