Just read this all the way through - some great engineering going on there. It also makes me feel a little better about the amount I spent restoring my car which now seems paltry by comparison!
I notice that at one of the trackways you parked next to the fire trucks - just to be on the safe side!!!
Stunning build, keep up the good work,
JohnR

Fitted the steering rack tonight and new column with a quick release boss for the wheel. Also managed to mark up the new fixing points for the subframe, the aim was to get the frame final fixed but it was freezing

Got the suspension on along with some other small bits. I have finally got some corner weight scales so once it's back on the ground I will know what it weighs

Just seen the write up in Mini Magazine, excellent work!

Bet you can't wait to get it on the road.

Any more progress?

Ps. Best bit of the write up "I wanted to keep it all looking standard-ish" 😂

Keep up the good work!

Thanks for that I have been to get a copy today. I can't wait to drive it and it is standard from a distance :)

Not a lot got a couple of little jobs done and more parts ordered .

A couple more bits done need some more alloy to make brackets up then engine out a bit of paint and it's staying in for a bit

New set of wheels 13X8 and 13x9 should help with traction in the future
