[andywaller]

look i got my birthday present from my parents!

they are from SPA design, they are only plastic though, they wouldnt get me the £180 carbon ones







as i said i had some big parts to pick up yesterday.

i drove up to mlmotorsport in kent to pick up my mb racing split rims, i dont really know what else to say. they are absolutly perfect! they now have a different design where the nut sits in from the wheel so they use normal 3/8th nut which means i can get locking nuts easily!













and if youd been wondering where i keep all my parts here is a pickture of my parts store, i mean bedroom

if i ever get round to finishing it

i think you help me to change my mind about the cam, im getting some advise from a mini engine builder hopefully about engine spec.

[Dog]

hehe, I influence alot of people
Its nice to know someone is actully listening to me!

[andywaller]

yeah i just thought i do really want a bit of top end not just tourque, and the cars gonna be so light it shoud pull away quick enough!

[Dog]

So what cam you decided on?

(MITP was a while ago now lol)

[andywaller]

well i have not decided yet as i hope i am going to be getting some help and advice from Steve Harris.

so the engine will probably be more track than road spec now!

all i know for definate is that it will be a 1380 and use a hfi44 carb!


i am now getting somewhere with the drivers side foot well, i made and tacked into place the hardest section which was the bit right in the corner, i now just have to put in a flat bit and a shaped bit then it will be done.

i am picking up a section of door step from a scrappy at the weekend, so once that is in i need to remove the last traces of outter sill, grind back all the welds and then weld on the outter sill!!!

i have also made a start on cutting out the boot floor as i am designing my own floor which will be made up in carbon (by the carbon weezle)

[Ollie180]

Looking good mate!

i like the idea your doing in the boot
