Car Forum / MINI / July 2003power for my estate
I have a 1972 clubman estate, which is original with its 998cc, I have owned it for 2 years and love the thing to bits, harvest gold, pretend wood down the sides, brown interior, great. Firstly I want rear seat belts, as the kids seem to slide about a lot (joke!!!!!!), but secondly I want it to go well. I have owned for a short time alongside my estate a mini saloon with a turbo motor in it, it didn't last long as it was really badly put together, but it really did go. What i want is super quick, but nice and traditional, maybe even having my own engine worked on. Mini magazine had a 998cc overbored and seriously played with, and that made 85bhp at the fly. Any ideas, or shall I pull my engine out and stuff something else in? I don't want vauxhall or honda power, just something that looks period with the car. I have some reverse rims to go on it and a set of s disks, so I can stop and go around corners Yes I'm sure I read in the magazines that there's a rear seat belt kit for Mini Estates. Check with a Mini specialist like Somerford, I'm sure they sell securon seat belts that will do the job.

I attached one belt on each side to the post(sheet metal)that comes down between the seats. The other half went into the storage areas on either side of the street. I feel very comfortable with the kids strapped in with thse lap belts. > Old car...
