MiniBrick's 1976 Austin Mini

Hello all.
This is my 1976 Austin Mini 1000 Deluxe. Its a New Zealand car that I imported back in October. So far I've had a multitude of engine problems but hope to get them sorted out soon so I can get it on the road. Anyone else out there who is a mini-freak give me a shout. I'd like to get a sort of support group going that can help eachother with our great little cars.

This is the reason for my immobility. The head is getting checked out at the local machine shop. I hope I don't have to rebuild this sucker. Its a bone stock 998. I'm thinking of converting it to unleaded if the cost isn't prohibitive.

Your Mini looks real nice man! It seems like it's in great good condition. I almost ended up buying a Mini from New Zealand way back in '03. I ended up gettin out bided on it on ebay. I later found my Mini on ebay located in Florida for a much better deal. Hey, I was just wondering, was it difficult for you to import it from there to here? Come check out my lil Mini sometime, peace out...
