Re: 1973 Mini Innocenti 1300 Export
I wound up tearing the engine down - I pulled the head as I wanted to install hardened seats so it would run on unleaded fuel. Once the head was off I didn't see anything too bad, but one cylinder was very carboned up compared to the others - an indication of a possible stuck ring or a loose valve g...

Re: 1973 Mini Innocenti 1300 Export
IT'S....A.....LIVE! This engine hasn't been started in 10-15 years, so I was pleasantly surprised when it popped right off and ran smoothly! Good oil pressure, nothing's leaking, and it sounds very good....no smoking, knocking or other nasty noises either. I haven't run this carb on anything before ...

Re: 1973 Mini Innocenti 1300 Export
Shell is done, still have to sand and buff after the paint hardens. Still have to do the doors, bonnet and boot lid.

Re: 1973 Mini Innocenti 1300 Export
All the Inno needed was some spot refinishing - no rust at all, just some flaking off paint....I had him fill in the extra wiper holes and antenna hole too.
Should be nice and shiny when he's done! Nice to know there was no rust to deal with - rare on any classic Mini!

Re: 1973 Mini Innocenti 1300 Export
After one day's work, the extra holes for the wipers and radio antennas have been welded up. There were no rust holes, but the paint was faded and flaky in a few spots....he'll repaint it with modern 2 pack.

Off to Tulsa to get the body prettied up, in the meantime I'll rebuild the engine and transmission.

Re: 1973 Mini Innocenti 1300 Export
No, all Inno's were LHD, this one was exported to England in 1980 and converted to RHD - I'm putting it back to the way it was originally. It's been a challenge as there was a lot of electrical bodge work done - they installed some bangin tunes, and the required British Immobilizer - I removed all o...

In a word...………...slllllooooowwwwww. I have all the suspension done, both subframes powdercoated, all suspensions and brakes rebuilt. I'm working on the interior now, swapping the steering column and pedals over to the left, along the way I'm completely rebuilding the heater and replumbing all the b...

Re: 1973 Mini Innocenti 1300 Export
Well, I got the front subframe out and removed the engine and set it in my engine stand. Got it all plumbed and wired up but haven't gotten it to run yet...no fire, still have to chase that down. However I ran compression and it's pretty good - 150, 150, 140, 145 and that's before doing anything to ...

1973 Mini Innocenti 1300 Export
Latest addition to the fleet! My partner Dan in Tulsa found this car about 5 miles from his house where it had languished in a garage for over 11 years. Prior to that it was exported to England where the steering and controls were moved to the right. Dan brought the car up to me to get it running, b...

I'm sorry I've had a last minute change of plans as well. My apologies for the late notice but it can't be helped.

A little over a week to go.....
Weather looks perfect, mid-50's in the morning warming up to high 60's later in the day.
Anyone else want to join? I have just a couple of spots left....

Zack, I checked with the shop owner and he would prefer not to have the event video'd….sorry. There are a lot of proprietary equipment and customers cars and stuff in the shop. We have just over 2 weeks, and I still have a couple of spots open. Cost is $100 and it is open to MINIs as well as classic...
