Its been a while.

But thanks to the KTM-KID im now a proud owner of a front subframe so cheers mate im owe you a blast once shes roaded.

[KTM kid]

Dude your most welcome, I can now move mine on as well, as its costing me rent to store the bloody thing.

[plugfaebervie]

Well heres a pic of my new front subby and also a pic of my front end i want

I am now proud to say i have paid my deposit for the zcars kit and also got myself a nice 07 hyabusa engine courtesy of malcolm at yorkshire engines.
So basically im buzzin cause if i get my finger out and weld up the mini this thing could be roaded in a couple of months!!! GOOD TIMES.

Nice one how'd you nae tell me none this?

[plugfaebervie]

i was gonna suprise you,lol.

Was just today i did it loon better get some welding on the go.

[KTM kid]

your butting me to shame, mine has taken 2 years in may, I am missing out big time. but thanks to you I can get some quotes in for the body work.

[scorge01]

I know that the hyabusa engine sounds like a good idea but to be honest I think that Calum is selling this you could break it for parts and fit the engine to the mini he says it's far quicker than any busa that he's had?

[rustandoil]

Congratulations on your subframe 'twas a good price when i saw it on offer
Did you get the rad brackets with it? you will need them............

[plugfaebervie]

Oops kinda got grinder happy again

Mr rustandoil Yeah i thought it was reasonable too im needein to save as much as possible,lol. no i never got them but my thinking was they were welded to the frame? Im sure i could make something up.

Aye scorge if only you told me sooner i wuda snapped that thing up like. pretty gutted

[rustandoil]

Rad brackets are bolted to the frame, should be easy enough to make :)

As detailled in this thread http://www.theminifo...what-these-are/

[plugfaebervie]

Nope never got them look easy enough to chuck together,lol.

Updates.

[plugfaebervie]

Well fokes it's been a while but ive really just been waiting for parts to arrive.

So a nice wee box arrived from minisport containg 2 flitch panels, 2 door steps, 2 scuttle panel corners and a floor box member let the cutting and welding begin
Also ill add a pic of what i think is a bargain of the century of my fibreglass front which i got for a fine price of 30 quid and this was found literally days before purchasing a new one for £190

Oh and last but not least anyone know of anyone needing clubman interior, clocks etc and also a 997cc engine for cheap let me know as otherwise itll all probably get binned.

Cheers Alan
