He's talking about the hole where the fresh air vent would be. It's been cut out square.

I think you mentioned it was cut out for a charge cooler?

ahh yes forgot about that hole..... would deffo plate that in unless you like being wet ! are you going to gut a section (with the hole for the ducting) and weld it in ? thats all i would perhaps do ?

Think I'm going to plate the fresh air vents on both sides. The dash what's in there doesnt have the holes for them so no point in keeping them to fill the car with water. I also want to make it as easy as possible to remove the front end without having to disconnect to many bits & pieces.

yeah good idea, also if you went for full pannel erplacement it would mean a paint job on the outside which would incure cost. I was going to plate it with that ally sheet i gave you then seam seal it, and stone chip it

Yep the idea is to try and make the car weather proof whilst still retaining its looks.

Now Andy has welded up those couple of holes I need to get started on the interior.

Engine is just about ready to go in.



Sorry about the poor quality pic. Only had my mobile to hand.

According to Andy I need to paint the clutch arm still. As long as Steve's up for a side by side no problems. *happy*

So you can see the other engine in the background too? 8-)

Hehehe.

Just have 2 engines now. One for my red mini and the one for the yellow mini.

I could do with a spare as a core unit but don't want to part with much money.

I must admit I have had a few engines!

I replaced the head lining today. It was a right PITA!

The sunroof was easy enough to get out, but I was fitting a used head lining and it didn't want to stay in place...

It needs glueing in, but at least we've made a start on reassembly now...

mate tell me about it, the pole had snapped on the rear section and when i saw how bad it was i didnt bother messing with it...twas as brittle as a wankers hankerchief !!!!!

i only dry mounted the sunroof so when it goes back in remember to run a bead of sealant or have wet seats in the winter *wink*

Richie

ps i was looking at the picture on the previous page outside the house, she really does look aggressive :) miss the car loads but shit happens i guess !

Got the cylinder head back from BENROSS last night.

He's opened up a few cc's to get the compression ratio down.

Just needs painting and fitting now then the engine is ready to run.
