My hillclimber in the making (998 Turbo) - Gone
Turbo Mini Forums

The cage is definitely OTT, but I'm working on the theory that if I have to carry the several kg of cage I might as well add a few more bars and make it work for me.

I'll definitely take you up on that offer although at the moment I'm still in the throws of getting the shell exactly how I want it.

Our SWABM will do the trick http://www.minispares.com/Product.aspx?ty=...%20AND%20JAME...

Welded a couple of threaded inserts into the heal bar for the lower harness mounts, then decided to add a bit of triangulation to the heal bar & of course some more gussets.

Really wish I'd notched the box section that runs across in front of the seats and sunk the sill bars into it.

I decided to have another ply with the front end this afternoon still got a load of work to do but it's starting to look like a Mini again.

blimey rob , ready for avon then !!!?

Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM

Don't be silly there's not a Cat in hells chance it'll be ready, it's taken over two years to get this far.

There's a 50/50 chance I'll have the 16v death trap with me at Avon, but I'm not sure if my balls are big enough to drive it.

I REALLY like that Rob! Why are there soo many nice looking clubbys now, its swaying me to the dark side!

Nice work on the cage and gussets matey.

Yeah, really getting into my gussets, just a shame they take so long to make with my handraulic flanger.

Are they 5x10 GB wheels?
Look a bit lost under the arches - I presume you've got something else intended!

They're 6x10 GB and are only being used for mock up, along with the air suspension, here's one of the sets of wheels which I'll be running:

Own the day

Good luck fitting the mig arches to the clubby, I think the word you need to keep in mind is "patience"...

PS C'mon other peoples, join the dark side. Think of all that space...

Coming along nicely. Personally I've always loved Clubbys.

You can't beet a slab front. It's the future...

I'm toying over tying the rear strut brace to the bulkhead with a large gusset, to help stiffen up the back, what you you guys reckon?

to the back of the seats?

i dont think it wll make any difference bud?

"Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

I really think it'll be strong enough as is mate.

The real problem here I think is your adiction to large gussets!

I wold have thought with the bars going through the bulkhead being welded there, and the cross brace going between the arches you should be nice and stiff on the ass end.

Thanks for all the positive comments.

Was wondering if you were going to bother, guess its esier this way as it saves any arguments later on.

They look strange with half missing, but fitted neatly.

Done a bit more on the front end, slowly getting there but its a pig of a job and the weather outside is too nice to stay the garage.
