This thing will look sick when done! Always fancied the idea of Manilla Green - my fav colour for Mk1 Golf, think it would really suit a Mini...

Its probably going to end up Island blue, love manilla green but im not sure it would work well with the carbon bumpers and plate plinth etc

Car is back from getting the cage done, also got wheel tubs and some other small bits done 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now the fun bit, making this fit, 

 

 

This also arrived, just waiting on the pulleys as they where out of stock 

 

 

 

Next stage will be a dry build so should be some more regular updates over the next month or so.

Spent some time at this over the weekend, got a start on the dry build 

 

 

Started trimming the dash to fit

 

 

Bolted my pedal box in to check clearance 

 

 

And set the engine in for a trial fit

 

 

 

thats it for this week 

 

cheers for looking

[HarrysMini]

Awesome build.

 

Refreshing to see something very different!

[minisilverbullet]

Following this closely! 

Great so far! 

[Jayme 1275]

Cheers fellas, thanks for the kind works.

Looking good so far.  Thats a proper cage, not these flimsy looking cages you find in most Minis.  Welded to the sheel along the A pillar always looks great too.

 

Man I want a SC Kseries engine

This is looking sweet mate! I've also done a completely smoothed bay so I know how much hard work it takes!

[Jayme 1275]

I took the car to wishart motorsport for the cage. Stephen is involved in alot of very high end rally car builds here in N.Ireland/ Ireland, so he was definitely the man for the job. Its been built to msa guidelines as well so could be built to compete. 

 

Thanks again for the kind words folks 

 

New arches arrived yesterday, so i had to give it a trial fit

 

 

thats it for tonight

 

cheers

Bit more tweaking and the ride height should be spot on, needs to come down another 10mm on rear

Looking good. What are the wheels?

[coopdog]

[Cookiez]

Are the wheels Force Racing ones?
