Not the set on ebay that went for 250? I got my set for £40 haha

Yeah, I've wanted a set of years and the last sent on ebay went over £500 so I'm happy.

I know. Turns out they're like busses.

Looks that way! Did the other one get finished in the end? I don't remember seeing a conclusion.

Yeah it's on the road and back with it's owner now. The completed build thread is on the MK1 forum.

Oh the joys of receiving a letter to tell you that your tax exempt vehicle that doesn't need a tax disc is about to run out of tax.

Should have set up direct debit! :-) Just how do you set up a direct debit on a tax exempt car with DVLA???

Tomorrows job will be to remove the 1300 Countryman's engine, split it from the box and pull the crank. Put the crank into my 1300 Maestro engine and put that onto a rod change box. Then maybe get it back into the Countryman.

Sounds like a PITA.. Can't you get another 1300 crank? I got one..
Mar 02 2015 11:45 PM -
Tupers
I've got plenty of 1275 cranks. Im just hoping the one in the Countryman is good enough that it won't need a grind. It's got to be split appart away so it's worth a look.

Nearly watched a whole series of Archer to day. It's far too cold to go to the workshop.

Ok then just pout. Ye Archer is the best. I've watched every series over and over again haha

I've just started season 5. It's taken over as my favourite animated series.

is that hydro spastic suspension? I am converting mine to cones...
Dec 18 2014 10:59 AM -
Tupers
It'll be staying hydrolastic providing the displacer hold pressure or if I can find some others. I actually like the ride of a hydro Mini especially with front dampers and they're getting rare now.
Dec 18 2014 01:28 PM -
dprac1ng
Ahhh fair enough. It's difficult to get hydro repressurised here in NZ hence the change to cones.

So there's a good chance I got over excited bought a MK1 for too much....

No that was an incredibly early MK1 Metro Turbo that the seller got cold feet to parting with. :(

RossKnight
Probably best he did as I'd have been over your way stealing it off you haha.
Dec 13 2014 12:37 AM -
Tupers
Well I'm still hoping I can wear him down. It was a wreck but possibly the earliest surviving one.

Nov 15 2014 01:03 PM -

Super secret but it is a Mini.
Nov 15 2014 01:42 PM -

I think I should build a 970 turbo Time Attack Mini. I should also win the lottery.
