Turbo Mini Forums

I was going to get some pics as am not one for the words.

Update is,

Front end is painted, doors and boot painted.

A friend of mine has an old beading tool so ive made some ally door pannels to finish the inside off.

Clutch is all fitted and blead up.

Brakes are on ,adjusted up, just need to join the rear up through the buckhead then there ready for bleedin up.

80% of the new loom is in, just wainting for the wiring guy to come back from holiday.

Full exhaust is now on, oil cooler painted and on, when the wires are connected to the starter etc the rad and intercooler are ready to go in.

Il get som pics next week when i call at work.

How much does it weigh atm?
Fantastic job, makes me want to start one myself lol.

In boost we trust

Is that bumper from arc angels?

Neil, no i havent made it, was done for me buy a local guy who does anything from that to suspension set up etc

oli, no the bumper was from abs i beleve, ive orderd a front from the arc angles but hes messing about.

.not sure on weigh, its prob not as light as i would like.

Rick

amazing piece of work! Speechless to be honest!

If its any conciliation to you rick, when i was looking at their clubman bumpers at combe they did look good quality.

Chears mate, ive heard there suposed to be good, am not in a rush tbh its just nice to be kept in the loop.

rick

colin

Looking good, but then I'd expect no less.

You might want to think about a head shield for the exhaust mind as you don't want to toast your toes!

Rob,
there is a cover to go over the exhaust but its still going to be hot.
Itl be ok on those cold days with no heater.

Weight wise i think its going to be closer to 550kg.

obviously id love it to be lower but am just consentrating on getting it finished now.

Rick

looks great Rick, nice to see my little contribution in one of those pics

Paul

I seriously doubt it!

Where have i put my kleenex?

is the shell bolted or welded to the chassis?

Thanks for the comments guys.

the shell is welded on, theres no real need for it to come off and its easyey to seal up.

Paul, not got an ally shell for me to put on then ??

Rick

Looks awesome!

Nice.

Grille - if i'm honest not my thing, might look better if you tried to carry over the silver theme onto the rad and masked and painted it - its a tough one.

But just a personal thought, overall its fab though.

WOW looking very very good.

Grille side of things i think all black would work. You need to get a photoshop wizzard on the case i think.
