Well ive got them now lol, i was thinking about rover 200 or MGF stalks but saw them on ebay and thought i may aswell get them but if i do something and totally them up, ill look at getting some from the above as they are loads cheaper the MPI stalks cost £27.00 including postage .

scuttle nearly there, not 100% happy with it but ill add a tiny bit more filler on the lower edge (wing) as theres a slight bulge.

Got engine steady bracket done, just waiting on top one from mini-gti to complete that part of the engine build. Should be ordering the four pots during the week.

Which 4pots you decided on in the end?

[CAU998]

Decided on the Minisport kit cause its alot cheaper, still got a chance to change my mind though lol, will be ordering either this week or the following.

[ed4ran]

Only £20 cheaper than minispares

[CAU998]

Never realised Minispares done them ill look into it

Not much happened lately apart from getting my carbon fibre switch panel, lot of ummming un rrrrring going on and i've finally decided, i want to change original ideas vastly. Thinking of 70's and 60's styling apart from wheels and odd carbon fibre bits here and there plus Autodelta exhaust. Speedwell bucket seats, central clock dash, 70's paintwork maybe pale yellow, no wheel arches, still mk1 bits un peices and circular air vents in front of bonnet.

Not had an update for a little while and progress will be a little slow whilst i try and pay for driving lesson costs but should get bodywork done at some point. But for now heres a pic of bits i got from specialist components.

Cheers, ill try my best to get it done over the next couple of years. Then ill build onto that hopefully with a 1380 8 port, turbo once i know the money situation.

[CAU998]

Couple more bits bought only small but its a step further to being finished.



Bulkhead to engine earth cables, think i only need one though do i?



Front subframe brake fluid pipe, broke mine being to impatient trying to get flexi hoses off in one peice



choke cable, worn like most usually are. All were bought for cheaper than you can get them from minispares etc. so im happy with that.

Don't worry should be some more interesting stuff happening soon, respray should be happening hopefully sometime after christmas, as are the wheels being ordered aswell as the brakes. Then it might be on the floor for the first time in 2 years.

1380 8 port sounds nice well worth the wait have fun lol

[CAU998]

Nothing much happenin at the moment, gotta start looking for options for a second car now im 17 and my driving lessons start on the 20th. Thinking maybe an Escort to lug round bits for the mini in lol but back to project looking at respray about March time.

Bit of an update, managed to swap my original dashboard for a whole 1275 block, gearbox and ancillaries etc. so i've kept the 12g940 head for myself as it has been skimmed and ported and one of my friends has decided he'd like to buy the other bits so we can make up a blueprinted 1275 engine for his project. Pic of 12g940 below its been cleaned up abit since then.
