I'm hoping that the motor goes in next weekend.

Wow, the subframe is looking great! Did you refurbish it yourself Dom?
RE: 1100 bulletproof.. - DomMINIque - 03-06-2016
Yep all myself Vinay. Not the quality of work I am after but for my running "scrap" it'll work.
I just want to drive a mini now.
RE: 1100 bulletproof.. - DomMINIque - 03-13-2016
Given the long weekends coming up, I'm setting myself a goal to have the mini back together by the end of the month.
First start planned for somewhere near by birthday - my birthday present to myself - a running mini

I would say hurry up, but that's like the pot calling the kettle black.
RE: 1100 bulletproof.. - DomMINIque - 03-14-2016
Hahaha, I'll take it now. But when I start on the other one it's going to be a slower more "perfect"

Nothing major to report. But she's back on all fours. Hoping to drop the engine back in next weekend
RE: 1100 bulletproof.. - Jared Mk3 - 03-29-2016
Pictures, or it didn't happen.

How the morning started

Trying to get the motor in from this angle which was a total fail.

Eventually moved everything out in the open where I had lots of space. Finally got the motor in as I was running out of patience.

This is now my only concern, I'm sure there is an issue with one of the suspension components.
Front wheel (no shock currently in)

Rear wheel

Next weekend should involve me getting the motor properly connected up to everything. Some of the things that need to be done:
Put CV's into diff housing.
Put top engine steady on.
Join brake lines up.
Put exhaust manifold and intake manifold with Carb on.
Put alternator on.
Wire everything up.
I also need to go past a spares shop and see if I can get some of the other things I need.
May have it starting by my Birthday....

Did you replace the rubber donuts in front Dom? Or keep the old originals?
