Thankyou, yes think there are some photos earlier on in the build

Managed to get back to work on the car last night and tidied up a few things and fitted the new washer bag

State of the art technology....if you lived in 1950!  Old school idea that still works today.

Well I'm making progress, got the exhaust fitted


Then rebuilt the driveshafts ready to fit


While I was under there took a bit of suspension/brake porn shot lol

Fitted the air horn and tested the new washer bottle

[Italianjoblofty]

Looking good fella! Shouldnt be too long now?  Getting mine back on the road soon.

Out of interest, what exhaust did you go for? We're going to (finally!) be sourcing a new one for ours in the next few weeks...

edit - just noticed that caliper - lovely!!

I went for the maniflow twin box system and a maniflow manifold. They have never let me down and is great quality

[keefr22]

Thanks - always good to get a personal recommendation.

Right havnt had a lot of time to update the build but here goes
Finished a lot of small jobs off, got the clocks wired in and working

The 70amp alternator fitted and wired up

The carb is off my cooper as I know this one works and I think as I'm not familiar with the twin setup to run in the engine

I needed to wire up the ignition module so I used the one off the cooper as a pattern. On the OE one there was a rubber cover to keep the water out I found the covers off the braided hoses are perfect for the job


And got the sliders fitted to the Perspex windows

[minisi35]

Just got the o/s hub to build and the car is ready for mot!

Good news!!, I've had the engine running , needs a few tweeks and a couple of small leaks sorted( heater tap and rocker cover )
But it was good to see it all working and the gauges reading well!!
