Not so much was going to carry on with the floor but the suns shining and the beer was calling!

 

For another day then.

Just a quickie chaps.

 

What clutch type do 1275's normally run on?

 

Got my eye on a AP racing clutch and backplate but its pre verto and I cant remember which mine takes.

 

No movement on the panels as yet just making a list up and trying to save some money up but the misses keep spending the bugger!

 

Mini restoration was much easier when single! haha.

Am sure the can run either clutch you will have to double check yours bud

[SAL 821X]

Trouble is I don't know where the clutch slave arm is.....?

[hoody99]

No affraid not didnt take any i dont think but nevermind i missed the auction end anyway.

Nope nothing to the van been gathering list of panels and some customising ideas.

[SAL 821X]

Right then after a bit of fortune I'm able to drop a call in to M-Machine and order some panels.

Little package just arrived at the office.

 

The rear doors should open nice and smoothly now instead of creaking like a barn door.

Hi Matt

Have you kept a spreadsheet of all the cost of parts & materials for your van resto project?

 

In one way its good to know but in another brings tears to your eyes (did make me cry and still does when I add to it)

 

Any new photos?

 

Cheers

Garry

Hi Garry,

 

I do have a spreadsheet to keep tabs of things, which reminds me it needs updating!   It is basically just parts and panels rather than consumables IE welding wire, grinding discs, flap discs and such.

 

No new photos yet sorry chap just waiting on a big parcel from M-machine which hopefully will arrive today or tomorrow.

 

Then just need to find some time to get back on it.

Ha. Looking for the next project is a daily occurrence Minbin! Thinking of a Triumph spit/GT6 next. Although perhaps not quite so involved restoration. 

 

I want to build a classic car collection over time of cars I've restored myself rather than just buying minters.

 

Hopefully the next one wont take me quite so long though.

[SAL 821X]

Postie arrived with a small package this morning.

 

 

Steering arm lock tabs.

 

Then the biggy! 

 

Delivery guys just dropped off the panels from M-Machine.

 

 

Almost as tall as me.... but then I am a short arse!
