You get a lot of those kind of niggles to sort. Especially once you get used to it and start to be able to notice the little things. It’s all part of a big swap imo.

The old saying goes, if you are a contractor and start to see the light at the end of the tunnel, order more tunnel!!

Really looking purposeful mate, love it.

Couldn’t resist squeezing in an hour or two.  Scored a donor door off Cooper that had the lower curved part.  Interesting the height difference isn’t there, so the mod I had to do to the lower part I now have to make this part to suit.  must be just natural variances in years etc.   Also Cooper popped down, and as I suspected the inner frame is O…[Read more]

Yea I know, 60 years old and they were ever really built to last, more a work horse.  I kinda think each bit I cut out and repair is one less piece  of rust before the end

That’s me for the day, heading into the Fringe.  Doing the doors, tricky little sucker to work on.  Not sure if this door is really worth the effort but going to give it a crack.  Haven’t sanded the welds etc, doing a bit of racing the next couple of weeks so not sure when I will get another crack at it.

Nice, coming along great.

Done!!

I really did lol

^ that “rod” is kind of the idea I have for mine one day.  Sort of a cross between a clubman type circuit car and a hot rod.

Cool, I guess as long as its all 100mm off the ground who cares.  As you know I am a fan of no bonnet mods, will be a super sleeper.

Holy crap that pic makes it look like its mid-engined!!

That VR SS is phat!!!

Looking great dude, same brakes as mine, they work great.  Does lowering the K frame like that mean you have to do anything funky with the springs and shocks, or does it all just bolt up like normal?

Those cables are certainly toast (excuse the pun).  Do you have any plans for venting the bonnet, given its a smaller engine bay?

Yep the way I look at it, every hour you spend, is one hour closer to the finish…

Progress is progress!!

Seems like its not easy to get hold of the passenger side door inner in Oz at the moment.  So pulled the buggered skin off the spare I have, also cut the front headlight buckets out of the old nose.  And Cooper gave me the inner front guards.  So thought I might as well get them off for blasting.  Matt is racing in the karting nationals at the Ben…[Read more]
