Project Progress - how is everyone doing?
Turbo Mini Forums

well it doesn't look like I'm on my own. To get it running the biggest issue is probably getting the intercooler plumbed in and the Megajolt wired up (along with a few other minor issues that will probably take for ever!)

This weekend I'm hoping to get the wiring completed so I can get the loom back out and bound.

Time is the biggest issue though. My folks are moving back up from England on 26th so i'm loosing another week to help them and work is just mental at the moment. Avon is still possible but starting to think it may not happen again this year...........

Not alot happening here, to busy with other things

Sooooo many projects! It's funny that mine is running, and working (at the moment) as it's always been the other way round. I've started collecting 1293 bits and saving for a benross head to fit to said motor. But actually I'm not in any rush as I'm quite enjoying the 998 turbo. I've got a set of minisport 4 pots that I'm overhauling as and when and some 6x10 1970's minilites that will be fitted with them for that authentic 70's look! Might get done this year!

i moved the mini from my leaking garage to a non leaking one. and have pretty much left it there.

summers already here and a new kite and board purchase will see me on the water soon enough

The A35 is running in ATM, and so far the signs are good - except that the gearbox has decided to start making a few odd noises !

Will not now be RR,d until after my trips to Scotland and Holland as lots of other things are getting in the way, but, with luck ,I will be at Avon, trailing along behind all these hot minis.

I'm sure you will whip a few of the hot minis too

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Getting there slowly, need to put the new front end together and get on with the wiring.

My target is Avon. Shell all painted finally although the Bonnet needs to be resprayed...! Subframes are off being powercoated and starting the wiring next week.

MOT on tuesday then i go on leave thursday so it should be ready. il have to run in the rebuilt motor but thats no biggy

got lots to do... work seems to be getting in the way :(
got quite a few days off coming soon so hopefully i can blitz some of the pannel work and then get on with some CAD ready for the machinists

my target... avon park...

Mine is running, had a trip on the rollers and is ready to be run in, however i have a list as long as my arm of things that need to be done to pass an MOT, parts arriving in the post every day this week, think the posty is starting to get annoyed!

Well progress on the Mat black Clubby is slow at best, but making progress none the less I have no dead line anymore I am just going to keep chipping away and when its done its done :)

Came off the road May 2009, Got stripped down last summer, and hasnt been touched since November. Coming along it is'nt! Nae Happy to say the least.

Just waiting on some modded boost pipes to turn up then I'm ready to roll for the summer then end of the year planning on doing a full respray and rebuild.

If in doubt... flat out! The words of a true legend

Getting there slowly... So much to do!!

I wanna try and get it running and driveable for summertime, not gonna happen tho!

I'm mid rear arch tubbing and rollcage modification, after tomorrow I hopefully won't have far to go.

I may even try to obtain a london to brighton ticket. i'll probably wake up half the campsite when I fire up an all out 1380 at 4 in the morning.
