Project Racing Green is my 1989 Rover Mini Racing Green that has had an official John Cooper conversion fitted by John Cooper Garages. The standard 998cc engine is boosted from 41BHP to 60BHP thanks to the engine upgrades. The upgrades include a polished and ported Cylinder head with enlarged valves, LCB exhaust system, Roller tip rockers, and Twin HS2 SU Carburettors. The interior enhancements include walnut door capping, walnut dashboard, alloy door furniture, and luxurious John Cooper emblem full leather GTS recliner seats.

    Hi Keith, looking good mate, only criticism is trust me don't solder joints it makes the wiring go brittle either side of the solder, how do I know I've done it to, I now crimp everything with a professional crimper and aviation crimps, luckily my son is an avionics engineer so he's taught me a lot. Anyway, keep up the good work nearly there mate. Cheers Marty 👍

    The car looks amazing. I said not to do the red on the steering wheel but it looks great. I was hoping for a ‘how to’ on the decals, I’ve got some Tahiti ones to add to my car… Do you just peel them off and stick them on? Thanks

    • @classicminiworkshop
      @classicminiworkshop Před 3 dny

      Pretty straight forward, just peel and stick once lined up, but you must degrease the panel first with something like brake cleaner

    Hi Keith. Do you have a video replacing the mini crossmember to bulkhead brackets, like the Minispares AHP36001 part? Mine are swelling, and I tapped the centre between the 4 big holes with a hammer, and it blew out to a hole. Just curious if you have had to replace these before? Any idea what the 4 holes are for from factory too? they go through this bracket but not into the bulkhead itself.

      No, only marginal increases. They are 1.3:1 ratio so almost the same as standard. The benefit is in the roller tip which should reduce valve and guide wear
