Hey guys,

Its cool to see a few of you guys are still watching my build thread.

I'm afraid I may majorly disappoint you in my lack of progress...

Since my last post I have pretty much done nothing to the car. It has literally been sat in my garage under cover for the past 2 years...

Ive been real busy with other bike / car projects but I will be back on this one very soon!

I'm selling my other car so this will be I have a major cash injection to help finish it off!

Cant wait to get it on the road!

Zerocool, That looks like a mate of mines old Clubman, Bill Mitchell? I'm 98% sure that you have his old mini.

I think my last post back in Jan was the last time I worked on my Clubman...

Today is the beginning of my next push to get it done. Hopefully the last.

Sooo...

I'm finally back on it. Making some headway with the wiring. Got most of the standard loom in now.





Have a couple of issues though. My wipers don't seem to turn off?! They should have 0 - 1 - 2 speeds. Mine seem to go 1 - 1 - 2!

Another question, I have Racetech electronic gauges. Do I need to fit a voltage stabilizer for these or is it only used for the standard gauges? I've seen some people wire one in?

Cheers guys,

Hoping to have it running before Christmas!

Good to see your back on it, but the pictures aren't working for me.
