something I forgot to show was the organising of the parts I removed. Now from experience I can't stress this enough, I really try to keep things as well boxed and labelled as I can because when I come back to fitting all these parts its usually months after. And I always think at the time that I will just remember, but you never do haha

This 100% on the money and imperative advice.

I have fallen foul of not following it.

"Oh, I'll remember. I'll just take a few photos."

You don't remember, and you always miss the exact spot you need in the photo.

Little notes inside boxes or bags detailing position and order of parts is also very useful.

this is a good call

 

​I have taken pictures as I went of anything that I think is not obvious to put back together haha

Sandwich bags with the white square on and a sharpy is handy too, as you can bag up bolts and write a reminder to yourself eg: “long bolts at the bottom of housing”

I had a mate that used to just launch it all in a big box and swore he would remeber......he never reassembled any of his project cars......ever lol.

[Harryrothers93]

been hard at work on the Mini today and I feel like I might finally be getting somewhere now haha

 

first thing of the day was taking delivery of the roller jig 

 

 

 

 

then the assembling commenced 

 

 

 

was very hard getting the car up to the height required, but I managed it in the end with the use of jacks and quite a lot of wood. once bolted together though I was left with a fully spinning shell
