MiniBrick's 1976 Austin Mini Merritt Island, FL - 1

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.
