Get buying then spud haha

[Spud_133]

Nah I'm not too keen on them.

[Spud_133]

So haven't really had much to update on this other than its fast! I reckon now its run in its deffinately pushing out more than 93 brake. Still not it running on megajolt as I haven't tried again.

Got a set of lucas 578s for my bar, just need to get them fitted.

Also just waiting to get a few spare pounds to get a Newton commercial carpet, which should be in the next few weeks.

Finally should have it all buttoned up and hopefully haves suspension fitted for MITP, maybe

[Spud_133]

Checking it over before I go to MITP tomorrow, and found these little problems

 

So replaced them with a solid mount kit and went and got a exhaust bracket, should've greased the tower mounts though as they squeak

[Spud_133]

Woooooooooooooo update.

 

 

Been loving driving the mini around. Then I done this,

 

So, I've got 6 weeks off work, and I'm now starting week 3. I have been out working on the mini today, whilst dodging the weather. I fitted my new tow eyes, moar dsn goodness, I also fitted my new gear knob, and bonnet strap. I brought the latter two at Stanford yesterday. Will hopefully get the carpet, underlay and all that jazz fitted soon, but I've got a leak to fix first. Need to get my spot lights fitted too.

Anyway, threads are useless without photos, so.

Holy thread revival batman!!

So, since the last update, just a few things have happened, it carried on from the last update for another month or so, then came off the road. It got back on road, just about in time for London to Brighton, then was on the road for month or so, until it came to its untimely end, on the a14,

But, we were committed to the cause, and determined to rebuild him! So this was purchased,

Shiny!

We began the stripdown

For some reason my phone appears to have gone into meltdown and won't paste, so story will continue when I get chance, or remember

[RossKnight]

I shall remind you!

[JewSkii]

WOW big impact what quite caused you to come off the road? and i only just found this build and i really like the light bar :)

will be waiting for the next installment

[chipster196]

He was hit by another car driving in excess of 70 miles per hour whilst he was stationary!

[Spud_133]

Will update this soon, maybe later

[Spud_133]

The stripdown continued,



Now the fitting of shiny new bits


First time it was on its wheels again



MOT time
MOT passed, took it home, and the wheel bearing collapsed, it'd only done a maximum of 50 miles, the subframes were both fully reconned with new bushes and bearings all round, so I wasn't too impressed. Got it all fixed and took it to a show local to me on the Sunday,

Then used it for a couple of days, and then took it on the London to Brighton run, with no issues, here's a photo I was tagged in on Facebook

And that's about it for the minute, need to do a few bits to finish it, but haven't had chance yet. It'll probably never be finished
