Nope!. Depends how we feel, but it might get sold off this year.

[HARBER07]

Not gonna sell it now. New engine picked up today, non A series.

Not sure why this car gets passed around so much. Someone needs to finish it!

Good luck

[HARBER07]

Has a habit of being sold to people who lose interest in minis, me included!. It'll get finished now though as its non A series, which was the part really putting me off the project. Hoping to reveal this at MITP this year, but I said that last year LOL.

Its lucky this thing doesn't rust!!

[HARBER07]

Lol true words those.

[jonny f]

Yay! What engine did you go for? K?

[HARBER07]

Possibly... I'm trying not to reveal too much till MITP!. The engine *should* be mounted by the end of this weekend if all goes well!.

[HARBER07]

ridiculously close to finishing now. Got the doors to do this week, polish the boot and bonnet, plumb in the cooling system, get a pair of shafts welded and get an inlet TIG'd up.

Oh and map the engine, lol. Should smash the MITP target this year, as long as I don't get any MOT issues.

Nice one!

All sounds good but we need some visuals ;) Regards Blue

You'll have to be at MITP

Besides that, I've not really had time to take pictures of much as I've been rushing to get it done before we're out of the garage. Might be able to sort some teasers out after this weekend.

And the front end got mounted back on today

[HARBER07]

Well, *******. All was going too well, but I've decided I don't have the skill (patience mostly), to get mini doors to fit the Minus. I can't afford FG copies, and the lead time is too great anyways. They are too thick, too tall and 10mm short to fit the gap in a fashion I'd be happy with.

So I'll crack on with whatever I can, but I'm going to have to get someone else to sort the doors

[jonny f]

Nice work, i won't be at mitp so get some teasers up!

[HARBER07]

Now that i can do!
