you annoying me lol. By the way, if the old man wants to order parts for his MG TC off you could you knock a TMF discount off? hehe (in the future). He always uses you anyway, think your the only people he can get 1946 TC parts off.

i cant belive i have actually missed this great project before now, i had a flick through it a while ago but didnt really see any thing.

your car is spot on mate, love everything about it!

this is one i will lookforward to seeing at the shows!

Same as Andy, its been ages since I looked through this one, its bloody awesome! Can't wait to see it up close at a show sometime!

With the supercharger kits, will it be possible to turn the boost up a tad if you've purpose built an engine to take supercharging? If 5psi is ok on a standard engine, with a little bit of work it could easily take more.

This is an amazing thread to read through. Top Job on your mini there.
Would it be possible if you could take some close up pics of how your flip front is mounted to the hinges and how you have tackled the problem of securing it in place when shut? Im looking at going down the same route as yourself with the alternative flip front hinges. I read earlier in the thread you where going to draw up some measurements of the hinges. Have you found the time to do this yet?
Thanks Doug

Its already running at 8 psi which is about as much as it will go without coolcharging, CR is at 8.6 so hopefully will have some decent bhp. Had a very minor hic up with valves and rockers so its just had a set of titans fitted and heavier springs



and a few tweaks to the rear end, had to trim off the socket on the arms!



and some different lower arms
