Adamants XE Build

[adamant]

So a new year has started. And with no girlfriend now, cold, dark, winter nights, a garage full of mini bits and a depressing looking mini, my thoughts are new year, new build. :D

After lots of thinking, alot of chatting and uncountable amounts of coffee i decided 2litre 16v was the only option, after falling in love with the one in my Nova i would regret it if i didn't, and all under a standard length round nose. I hope! :?

Photos will commence this weekend
:wink:
