all the way! god you must have a lot of time to read 75 pages

[elspedo]

Ha ye it was a good hangover cure

[elspedo]

On a serious note tho, is the subframe legal like that? will it pass an mot? Got all my holes marked out n got the hole saw on then thought better check this first

WOW what a marathan... just spent 2 days on and off reading through this thread... got to say the dedication and determination you've put into this car, never mind the money (sorry to mention it) is simply awe inspiring !

To be honest when i started reading the thread and saw there was 75 pages i did think i was going to see a completed project at the end but seeing the attention to detail you've gone to and reading through the changes you've made on spec etc along the way i'm not surprised its not done yet.

Hopefully i'll get to see a little more of it at some shows this year !?

[andywaller]

just thought id copy over my last couple of updates from over on TM so you can see it on here


-----------------------------------------------------------------------


been plugging away at the mini here are a few pictures:















its all coming on slowly, im getting there with the welding, just waiting for a few bits of metal to come from the fabricators so i can finsh that.

and im trying to fit my carbon roof skin, buts its not very good.

[andywaller]

a few pictures of my progress. there in no real order.

the front suspension has been dry built, and engine is back in so i can start mocking everything up.

i found the fault that most people have been finding with the coilover brackets, when the car is at my intended ride height the subframe is sitting on the brackets so i need to come up with something new there.

i have started sorting all the breathers in the head just need to get the pipes welded in.

i got a set of carls dry deck take offs so have modified the head to fit, and just need the silcon hose now.

i have bought a couple of srew caps from ebay, on for my petrol tank and one which was extended for my oil filler, crankcase breather, and a stant lever cap for my header tank. some KAD tower mounts and steering rack limiters.

A set of SPA design autoclaved carbon wing mirrors came up so ive got them now.

SC rear hubs, and SH eng. water pump take off!

i have settle on using the gt17, it should give me enough power to get use to driving a turbo'd car.

i have cut away the front wings to give clearance for the wheels, and have the arches nearly where i want them.

the steering column is getting there, i need to get on and order the materials as i know how long it needs to be now.

[Matrix]

Hey Andy looking good mate...I thought you were using std masters?? where was the stant cap from?

[andywaller]

yeah changed my mind, im getting a kad biased box now!

stant cap was off ebay, much cheaper than demon thieves.
