Hi All
New member here, I own a 1971 998 ,which I have just given to my 18yo son as his first car,so was missing the joy of mini ownership.
I`ve bought a 86 fitted with a 1.6 astra engine and all the goodies, Allspeed Subframe, Adjustable track control arms, etc,13inch alloys 4 point harnesses, it goes like the clappers. My question, is I think the clutch is on the way out :( but hey ho the car was a steal,can the engine/box be dropped out from the bottom on the subframe,in other words ,just lift the body out of the way

Thanks in anticipation
