Well got the engine running last weekend. Turned out just to be a bad earth. Typical. So cleaned them all up and now she finally runs. BHP sells engines, but Torque wins races! |

I did a test piece a while ago and it definatly needs heat to help it along, how long would you leave it in the oven Joe?

probably half hour will be enough, just till it wrincles, then it can go somewhere else to dry.

Hmmm, the ally is only about 1.2mm thick so might not be the best for holding heat, will probably give it the half hour afterwards BHP sells engines, but Torque wins races! |

Ok so I got the dash painted, and if anyone is considering using wrinkle paint I would advise to do a few test pieces first, I found that when I put it in the oven to cure it removed most of the wrinkles. I found it best to let it air dry, then cure it in the oven a few days later. Guessing it probably depends on the brand of paint.

Well block is back from the machine shop after having liners fitted and bored to size. Didn't need that expense after the washing machine broke to be honest.

AAARRRRRR the car I've been building for the past few years is finally in for an MOT. Expecting it to fail on something but I'd like to know what. Had a good productive week sorting lots of the little jobs out. Fingers crossed it's not to bad. If it passes I think you'll see my smile from space. BHP sells engines, but Torque wins races! |

Took the car for MOT yesterday, and it PASSED. Go pick up my tax disc soon then have a little drive around town in my new turbo mini... So happy right now, been building this thing on and off for 10 over years. She's still nowhere near finished and some tatty bits here and there from when I started and had less skill than now. But at least I cn enjoy a little mini driving again, its been a few years since i owned one.

well done mate, you still in arborfield? Not any more, recently been posted to Wattisham. Middle of nowhere Some pics as requested 
She looks ok but actually can't drive it yet because the taxation class was wrong on the car, so waiting for the dvla to send my tax disc 
But also driving it is quite a scary expereince at the moment. The suspension geometry and tracking is all over the place. But once i have tax that shouldn't take too long to sort out. BHP sells engines, but Torque wins races! |
