wasnt too bad ut should have some updates on the rebuild pretty soon

[mk3cortina]

that front end looks rather twisted in the last picture?

[olds_kool_lews]

that front end looks rather twisted in the last picture?

it does dont it, looks like the passenger side is abit low, but then again, it could just be a dodgey camera angle or the light!

still looking good though, should make a nice mini when its finished!

[mk3cortina]

yeah if you look at the slam panel in relation to all of the other horizontal areas like the bulkhead and scuttle its well out of line

[clubby_1275gt]

its the light on the picture lol . and yes the scuttle is lower one side than the other due to the previous owner putting new end on the scuttle he has made it wonky but cant really notice when u are actually next to it . but all front end etc is straight just doesnt look it because of scuttle

[clubby_1275gt]

right well a bit of an update today should be quite a big one tommorow . but today i invested in this from a donar car



including engine gearbox all ancilaries. front subframe suspension hubs disks calipers etc basically the whole front end for 300 quid

but one thing im stumped on is the engine code .

could anybody help me out a bit

it says MSPDENG23507P

any guesses people will be greatly appriciated

[carboy001]

Made by Morspeed Engineering (MSPD-ENG) but other than that I don't know.

Good build mate

[clubby_1275gt]

cheers is that a good price for that then anybodygot any ideas for cc its a 1275 so they say but if its been made by a diff company i am assuming its more cc than that

[clubby_1275gt]

[clubby_1275gt]

lil update today . first things first i cant get the bloody engine running . there is power to the dizzie cap but no further to the plugs . it is a electronic ignition so no points condenser etc . any ideas

first of all i have managed to refit steering rack



just need to put the new gaitors and track rod ends on

then i was sat there most of the day trying to get engine started but i was also rebuilding the rear subframe including new shoes ,cylinders , handbrake cables and brake pipes . kept the braided hoses though lol . then put it on the car and put the suspension the lowest it would go and i couldnt fit my fingers between the wheel and the arch but looks good if u ask me just need to make the shock the hardest they will go lol to save recking the arches



pretty low i would say lol



looks nice in my opinion lol



not quite done the front lol
