Well, an absolutely glorious day, and I have been at work all day, unable to do anything on the mini. Setback again!

Got the arches tubbed finally, though its not something I ever want to do to a shell I don't intend to paint. A worthwhile mod, but complete bastard of a job! On 7th Oct, 2010 5haneJ said:

I've spent all weekend either wrestling with the bottom arms on my mates disastra or up ladders in the back room doing all the shitty time consuming jobs before paint. Got a deadline of 4.36 on thursday to have it painted, sort the skirting board on the chimney breast and lay the floor. fook. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

On the plus side - Uni finishes at the end of May and there's no sign of a job so gonna have plently time to get it on the road. Wow Oz - seems like only yesterday you were starting your course! And I'm also in the 'Looking for work' catagory too, and am learning how hard that is - good luck! (Oh and what clutch/pressure plate combo are you using?) Back to the thread, my project - it's going slowly! (So many other things to do!) As Richard (turbominivanman) pointed out to me some time ago, it doesn't actually qualify as a car! |

Clutch/pressure plate combo is a per this thread. http://www.turbominis.co.uk/forums/index.p...id=351231&fr=25 Hoping to be on the road by summer. Also, Mrs Oz suggested we use the Student loan to by a another car... so I've got a Golf GT TDi so the Mini is now an offical project car. Ace.

Fitted the crank and the 4-bolt main cap today, all the right clearances and end float. Well pleased. Saul Bellow - "A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep."

I'm finally back to working on my Mini after a slightly unexpected project turned up which is nice, the loose deadline of this summer I had set is long gone though. I'm hoping to have a finished shell within the next few weeks if things go well.

Just got mine completely stripped, am still deciding whether or not to take it too be acid dipped or sand it all down my self and spend the time removing all the underseal etc. Currently saving for all the goodies aswell so by the time the shell is solid i should be able to trial fit everything. The turbo build has finally started |
