Start to Finish, i was still awake at 0630 after a night shift local time reading this when the bike hit.... was like the twist in a Scott Mariani novel !! 

 

love her, love the endless supply of clubman bits you have stashed away too!! haha leave some for me! i love that she is not perfect but machanicly sound and being driven rather than striving for perfection and the restro takes her off the road for 5+ years 

 

 

keep it up enjoy her

Yeah it's become a bit of an obsession. I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
I would say I was done but another bit came up last night that I couldn't resist. A NOS bumper was just too much to pass up on. :)

Now i feel guilty! As she's currently under a car cover a hundred miles away covered in snow! Depending on how she survives the winter will decide how I approach it again. I certainly don't want her to become a show queen. But a nicer paint job would be nice...

You leave her alone! It would be wrong to separate a GT from her Silverstones...
I'm not done with minis yet.
You wouldn't be the first to ask though.

I did have a nosy at that one. I do like it but there's certainly some bits I'd change though. Mine will be nicer ;)

So today I finally got around to having a play with my wheels at work! I've no idea what I'm going to do with the data, but I'll certainly have a nice cad model.

For those Bemused it's a 3d laser Scanner.





Split rim centres anyone?

In 10 inch

Cool bit of kit!

[Boris the Lion]

That's brilliant, mind me asking where you work?

Any possibility of sending it to someone who makes wheels and getting a load remanufactured for those of us not fortunate to come upon any originals?

Billet 10" split rims!!!

I work at a company called S-CAN, based out in Norfolk.

I was considering that. Although in a mean way some of the appeal of the wheels is in the rarity,  and I'd hate to spoil that by having them produced in any significant numbers. 

A small run would be ideal, but then the cost would be ridiculous!

Sadly Not much to report of late! 

Mini has been hating hibination, it wants to be driven.  The temptation to re-tax it is massive, and it's still MOT'd till September! Does need new rear tyres though.

 

 

I have been having some fun with some tech though!

You have some nice kit to play with at work. You have done a wheel, how long to do 4 more and the rest of a clubman ?

 

Just looked at your website and see you have already been quite busy !

I'm definitely intending on doing that! I've got a slight issue with my model that I'm not happy with though. So I figure I better fix that first :) oh and i need to add in the logos!

Yes! We've already done a rough scan of a roundnose shell. I was going to scan mine but since my front end was caved in, it seemed a little silly to use that as a reference! 

Have to wait until I have my straighter clubman on the road!
