Back once again like a renegade master

Not that Im aware of?? Havent drilled the holes for the mounting plates yet so not sure, will also ask my friend who has a minus if he knows anything, he runs the minus register so he'll know, need to speak to him at some point, will pop round and see him tomorrow if i get time.

I now have a smug grin on my face!, cage is pretty much all done, all I have left to make or buy are some gussets for the door bars (would rather buy than mess around making) and I need some 25mm tube to let into the fron legs to allow the dash bar to be sleeved then bolted (having to do this as the is now way the front frame can be fitted into the car with it on, so bolt or weld in once fitted is the only options) Here are the latest pics, none of it fitted tho as I was on my own and needed another pair of hands.

I thought you didnt need a bulkhead box? With the rad could you just not drop it down half an inch or so to get the clearance?

I dont need a bulkhead box for the setup im using but fitted it incase I was to fit the std t3.
With regards to the rad there are numerous ways it could of been remidied (none of them particulally better than others) with the back edge of the bonnet rasied 1/2" and with a custom made plenum alla Nic all clearence issues have been resolved.

fingers crossed, its cut out and waiting to be welded aparently

(shameless plug-theres plenums ready to go if any one wants one)

Shamelesly plug away Nic!

good project there shane,
any updates?
ive just been offered one for swap's with my pickup,
but im not convinced they'd be lighter than a ''lightened'' mini pickup....
and thats the main reason i got it...lol

pick ups are aparently pretty heavy,

heavyer than a van anyway.

really?
id have thought as they have less metal like roof,rear doors, and bigger quarter's they'd be lighter,
can you bring a hole saw sunday?

lol

Just realised this thread has been added to, all be it over 3 months ago. No im affraid not, due to house purchase, my other mini and work spare time to play with it has been none existant. Due to current curcumstances (and unforseable changes of) I had it up for sale recently, but luckilly I have managed to avoid the sale. After I have moved I need to get the 1293 built and back into my black turbo mini, then am hoping to spend a bit more time on it. When I move it from my sisters I will add a few pics, hopefully relight a little enthusiasm.
Cheers
Shane.

This looks really good mate you have done so much already, look forward to seeing more as you do it.
