OOOH i think ive had a special accident! that looks ace under that mini front end! but i think a standard mini city grill and brightwork is on the cards, and a fake pea shooter exhaust just to keep the people you pass guessing!

It does look in a bad position but it actully isn't too bad!
The plate under the gear stick can be removed and modified to move the gear stick foward about 5 inches!
So if I need to move it I can!

Another tiny update

Got some steel for the jig I'm building today!
I don't think I could have got anything longer!
7.5 meters long, it was fun bringing them home tho!

pic of the steel squeezed into the shed


Anyway ill have the jig built in a few days, be back then!

[Brams96]

Man I wish I had a 'shed' that big to work in!

[liamcrowley]

Another update, built my jig today!
So hopefully I can start making my main chassis soon and then start with the suspension and get it rolling!
Haven't seen him rolling for a good long while!!!

Here are a few pics of the work I did today!







Maxwell has moved up in the world!

One question is how are you going to get enough weight over the back wheels to stop them lighting up every time you give the go pedal a little squirt?

Amm about that...
I'm going to do my best to put as much weight over the rear wheels, and the petrol tank may help!:)
But I have a funny feeling that won't be full for long!
And I'm getting 10" wide wheels for the back and also semi slicks will be fitted!
But a bit of spin is ALLWAYS fun!

I think a road trip over to Ireland when this is finished is in order. This is going to be mental fun to drive. The only two things I'd change about my mini would be rear wheel drive and extra leg/foot room. At 6,3 I can get pretty uncomfortable behind the wheel sometimes!

Haha, this will be the wickedest drift car out there! Give those silvia's etc a run for their money!!

[scotty_1987]
