Sorry guys, blame the lack of updates on minisport. Waiting on cones and upper arms.

Why are you apologising? Thats like apologising your mini leaks oil? Both are common worldwide knowledge!

Well well well. Ground to a halt and no motivation for anything. Haven't even been getting out of bed in the mornings.

This - took my money.




And then this, a few days later, took my motivation;

At least you now have more free time and money for the mini.

Its a lot easier to own a mini than a girlfriend. In my experience a mini is usually less temperamental.

Unlucky. Good luck with the project.

Mate, that's crap. Unlucky.

Thanks guys - will get some updates in soon. Just trying to find somewhere to stay atm, as I'd been living with her. Did some work this afternoon, but not much - just broke down in a corner of the garage and wept. Will try and get more done for you guys soon.

Got the mini rolling At the weekend. Ish! Needed to get it out of the garage to have a bit of a tidy up!

[Mad Max]

Hahahahahaha, thats awesome, on a serious note though quality project always wanted to build a nuts mini but keep buying to nicer ones to cut up. Keep at it, once you see an engine in it you'll soon get motivation.

Having problems getting my suspension cones to fit the subframe?

That makes me feel unbelievably pained for you. Seriously, I hope things get better for you, as I'm totally sure they will.

Great build by the way - when you've finished, you'll finally realise why you started it in the first place!

It took years to get over mine, but it was the best thing that ever happened to me. I am now much stronger and very much happier. In fact, if I die today, I die a happy Man.
My Spi project will start soon and it will be a treat to myself. I ended up buying a Daimler XJ40 6.0 V12 after I split up with mine
wish you well

Got plans for a blower already ;)

Shame to hear about your misfortune. Just got to hold your head high and move on.

Not to worry - I'm getting there. The truth came out about her being a liar and a cheat - it's closure, and something for me to get over! Will stick to the engines, they suck, squeeze, bang and blow, just without the answering back! Thank you though, support means a lot!

Got mine to fit now, just took brute force to fit them past a narrow point in the frame!

I sure do - wonder if the insurance will class it as a turbo though? ;)
Thanks mate!

Haha, aye! This wooden axle makes for some interesting caster/camber though!

Thanks mate - will hopefully see you sometime this year, and go for a blast! Planning a few road trips!
