This car is ridiculous! Are you really lifting the rear end up in that picture!? Crazy light! Can't believe how many holes you drilled!
Have you got any pictures from before you started the resto?

 

Well thank you! 

 

yes i can lift it up to over my knee lol, its going to get lighter very soon there is not that many holes on show its the ones you cant see. 

 

I think there is some at the start of this page.

MITP was literally my first trip out in my SPI Mayfair after having it rebuilt and rebored to 1293.  Your car has literally made me want to turbo it!  Ridiculously quick and looks great too.

Thank you, but its not all in the turbo!

Buying shares in aluminium as we speak

So Nice this car!
What kind of brake master cylinder and clutch cylinder do you use? Bolt on? Is it adjustable?
Do they share the same fluid?
Do you have a closer picture of the setup?
Thanks :)

This is one of the best builds I have ever seen. Good work mate.

 

Could you please put up or send me some photos of your electric water pump setup.

 

I am interested in going this route, I am unsure and unable to find much info or photos.

 

Again, great build. Keep up the good work..

[mad mk1]

Hi thank you so much,

No sorry I don't have any pics of the setup as it can't really be seen when it's fitted in the car.

Thanks simon.
