To give an insight in to the build process for these racecars, I will be doing a bold as we build my new car for 2014.
“We” is myself and Gerry from PerformanceTek, with a reshell also being done on my girlfriend’s MINI whilst we’re at it.
Here’s the donor for my racecar, previously owned by various racers and a veteran of many years in the championship. She’s had a tough life and it shows, but the engine and gearbox are good and the suspension and cage will be finding their way in to the new shell.
New shell is being denoted by this 2001 Cooper sourced from the hallowed pages of eBay. With 132,000 miles on the clock she was still remarkably tight and the engine ran sweet but the gearbox has the trademark Midland rumble.
