Oh and BTW I really dislike the bumpers. Most people would probably agree.

Also going to buy one of those instant garages from machine mart so I can work on the mini when it's raining.
Going to build a roll over jig as it should make finishing the welding on the underside a bit easier.

Remember to fasten the instant garage to ground well enough.
Otherwise it will fly off on a windy day, this happened to my brother once.
Luckily it did not hit anything important, only bent the pipework on it when found upside down 20 meters away.

Yeah, I've seen that they like to fly away. I shall go OTT with strapping it down.

I dont think anything fell in it, the baring has fallen to bits do not sure if thats what made the gears grind. The engine has just been cobeled together so it was only a matter of time at least ive got the metro turbo engine to put straight in

Wow! I am no expert in gearboxes but I can even diagnose that its tolerances are a little too big (fooked) 😃
