New project -but not a mini
Turbo Mini Forums

looks like you've made good progress since the last post.

agreed with Andy's comment - I do really want a lathe in the workshop.....

Nice work Dave, it looks like you're making good progress. Good to see your back to full health and not wasting a moment of it. :)

1/4mile in 13.2sec @ 111 terminal on 15psi

Been a bit of a hiccup again since I last posted -fell off another bike, but not too serious, just enough to cripple me for a week or two !!
Van now has working rack and pinion steering.

Thats a Ford Ka link to the cut down mini rack.
Body now close to being ready to spray -just a few little niggles, but wings and doors are now bolted on and wont be coming off again in a hurry.

looking good now!

amazing !

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

Looks great!

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

Coming along nicely.

Thanks lads - I need all the encouragement I can get.

Once the paint is on its all just assembly, albeit with a few more mods along the way.

I,m not looking forward to rebuilding the doors or the wiring. I will have to re-wire it myself as there is no way I can get a loom made, given all the different things I will incorporate (Megajolt, electric fan, push button start,spotlights, fuel pump and inertia switch etc etc etc.

Quite looking forward to doing the trimming though.

As an aside the blue blobule got best modified at the club annual bash over the Bank Holiday weekend, despite asking that it not be judged because it has won twice before!.

Hi David,that looks stunning!We all have our hang-ups,wiring is ok for me but doing bodywork/paint is a big problem.I love that dog leg in the column and the neat entry to the bulkhead.
Now about these bikes,ever thought of getting some stabilizers fitted?

'Where does the engine go?'

Got my "new" seats installed (ex No2 son,s old 212000 mile Xsara)

Needed the height adjustment, as you can see , so that SWMBO can see over the scuttle !

More progress.

Got the first three coats of 2k on there yesterday.Give it a week and then block down and three more coats, another week and then flat and polish, Should be quite shiny by then.

Looking very good, really like this!

Wow!

Looking good as ever.

As for the wiring, could you not use a new standard loom as a stepping off point?

£200 for a new loom and then start butchering it ? Not likely, I have mixed Scottish and Yorkshire heritage !!

Now that should prompt some comment.

agreed, £200 is a bit pricey to cut about. Looks like you'll be making one from scratch!

Have to say, I love everything on this apart from the seats... I appreciate comfort, cost etc, however they are just not right in my head

OK, but have you seen the size of my arse ?.

Hmm,velour,just need some button dralon trim now........Seriously David that will be a stunning addition to the fleet.

'Where does the engine go?'

Roof now has its additional three coats and just needs flatting a final polishing.

Also painted lots of other bits - dash rear valance grille
Lots of other bits painted too - dash rear valance, grille etc.
Just another 10/12 hours of blocking down and I can get the last coats on the rest of the vehicle !!

Got 4 more coats on this morning -thank goodness that,s the painting done !

Looks really good dave! At least it's the right weather for it.

Ready for Kopp hill?

Blobule for Kop Hill - as always.

Van will never be as quick as the saloon as I have to keep it sane for CMC
(current Mrs Clark) to drive.

Looks great. It must be very satisfying to stand back and look at the fully painted vehicle.

Looks Good mate.

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.
