1/4mile in 13.2sec @ 111 terminal on 15psi

o right lol

i mean i wanted the wheels to look good in the arches not set in to far as i think it looks stupid with miglia arches?

Very nice. Lots of hard work gone into that.

Can I come and live on your farm? it looks nice!

Plenty work going into that! Kudos!

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

I almost managed to not comment, but WHY??

you seem to have done a good job on the shell, but then you go put the horrid oversills on it! why? it will only do you one favour. It will make the progressive weight removal system speed up its pace! (read: rust faster)

yer i know gutted i did now but when i started mini i just wanted to get it on the road quick job! now i have spent six months longer on it and 6 thousand more than i wanted!but hey its a first and wont be a last so i think all good practice for my one day pickup!!

at least cut of the lower part of some of the bumps in them so you get some ventilation.

ill need to do something for ventilation as i will only have poly windows with sliding hatch

anyone is welcome to come and live at mine!as long as they can put an engine together well!
ill see how i go with the wheels if they dont go ill sell and get something with a bigger dish

I think he meant ventilation to the inner sills....

its only gonna be out in dry weather so will that be needed?

Yep if there is any moisture in there they will rot from the inside out. Regardless of whether is a dry weather only car or not.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Also, if the original sills weren't removed then the over sills will in herit the rot from the originals.

I'll be removing the over sills on my black cluman, then the original sills, then the rest of the rusty bits and working my way back out to some nice new short sills If you're going to put that much time and effort into a car I would hate to see it rot away just for the sake of 50 quids worth of sills....

could i drill say a 25mm hole in each section? Then put a grommit in to keep it tidy?

some progress on engine the last few days, just need the engine fairy to bring me a clutch setup in the night!
