[Sabotage]

awwww.....glad shes back! she looks happier than the last pics!

seems not as was well...the second day i had her back she started smoking pretty good out of the exhaust like she was burning oil...so while i was gone she was trailered back up to the shop and after the water pump bypass hose was replaced(a hole was in it and sprayed coolant) it was taken for an extended drive and it started to smoke so a compression test was done and it was low in one or 2 of the cylinders(2 and 3 i think) so the head was removed and sent to a shop to have it checked...should have it back tuesday...though depending on the damage and the cost i might just go ahead and get the stage 2 head

Very cool mini.

You know, that color by itself is awful...but it fits the old mini. Might be able to pull it off on a classic Datsun as well.

and lo did he pray to the gods of compression and pushrods let her rise again...and yay the gods did looketh down with smiles upon thee and gave her life again...and thus she rose once more....book of classic mini 3:23

lol she lives again...after a few more issues they fixed the head and she runs great now...they even cleaned and repainted the head for me!
