Disassembly - Week 2

What a difference a week makes... total hours on the car at this point is roughly 15 hours.
Taking things apart is always easy of course....its putting things back together later that will prove how well things go.








You'll notice I bagged and tagged all the small parts, fasteners, things of that sort...
Hopefully later this should come in handle when re-working old parts and pieces to restore them all to better quality and having all of the hardware right there to put it back on.








Disassembly - Week 1





Well, here's the target... an 1972 Innocenti Mini, with a 998cc motor... preparing for a full strip-down restoration...



Here is the 998cc A-series motor.
Thoughts at this point for the resto will be to hopefully bore this baby out...from my research, I'm finding they can be bored to roughly 1430cc leading to a "full-race" application.
