Any more progress on this?

hopefully starting on it again this week, picked up some scap tyres so can roll the shell over and make some progress on the body.

[Peskett]

New addition of a free shell. I did pay for the subbies and stuff though but the shell is in alot better condition than the other shell i had at the start of the week. Got a few little welding jobs to do but shell is in great condition.

Should be solid it's a 99 cooper. More progress by the weekend.

Couple of pictures from yesterday, had to check that the manifold clears the bulkhead so had to swap the subframe over and drop the engine in:p Also decided i'm gonna get it to run in the next few weeks





Good thing is the manifold did clear but clearancewith the frame and tyre is a bit close on full travel think i'll get some turn reducers from kad.

Going scrappie tomorrow for a uj from a rover200 steering column as been told good things about them on the gearlinkage, Should go well with the new short shift i orderd from moto build Only bought it as the original gearstick was from a mgzt which unknown at the time has no theads for a gearknob and as its got a bend half way down i cant even stick it in a lathe.

Getting there slowly, Just gotta get rid of the lumps and bumps which is harder than i expected.

[Peskett]

Spent today seeing how far my wheels would stick out without arches and sorting out my gear lingage which wasn't quite correct
Think i may need to raise it back up slightly



Also checked that the coilovers clear the rear arch and wheel and they do
