where did Dan go?

[Deathrow]

Yeah I was really excited until I realised someone had just bumped it .

He was online late last year.

The last few pages of this project suggest he sold the car though.

[Mini-Mad-Craig]

It's probably long gone. People come and go in Minis dont they

I see he sold an engine but was interested in rest of car and whether it was still about would be awesome to see this in the flesh.

Bello, just popped into the forum doing some research and whilst I was here thought I'd update this.. Kind of..

The car was used until 5/6 years ago when it was taken off the road for rust repair. Which has escalated into a sprint conversion and major rebuild. The engine was never sold, that's being kept in the hope of finding a nice mk1 to put it in. A new engine is being built for the sprint, still short stroke, but to a much higher caliber. I set up an instagram account for the car which you can find @combustionguild Updates are slow as I don't have as much time to work on it now, what with being a kind of adult of sorts, I have a job which have to attend.

Thanks for the continued interest :)
