I hoping to be somewhere near done by early to mid July (but I'm not going to rush it).

Still have a bit of work to do before the ride height is finalised but yes it is quite low...... The back will have to come up a bit as it is currently about 12cm of the floor!!!!

Dave I don't know whats been taking you so long that looks simple..... :nugget: :cheese:

I've been having enough problems with mine let alone what you've done there but hopefully castle coombe this year could be the fwd vs rwd R1 mini shootout :grin:

Ok a surprise addition tonight, was just tinkering with the ride height (have discovered I need some longer rear shocks) Pete suddenly said shall we put the engine in? Why not I thought so,

What 12cm!
Keep it that low ade.
I already have to take speed bumps at 5mph with only one side of the car on the bump, so It won't make much difference. Tee hee.
Do you want me to measure from my rear valance to the floor, to see what mine is at?

I'm so happy for you Ade!!

Mid July is just when it's likely to be about ready. What mini show is on then?

Thanks Jammy, I just can't wait to hear his first words

Al I've had to get some longer shocks made up, because as they were, 12cm would have been the highest the rear of the car could be!!!!! Which could have been a problem to say the least.

But don't worry the car will still be low :cool:

Nothing major to report this weekend. Mostly just litttle things that needed doing.

Shaped dash a bit to make it fit, sanded and painted a few metal parts, modified rear valence to allow exhaust backbox fitment.
