Extreme Veteran Posts: 592 Location: kent | not a lot more done, half made a propshaft adapter, made from 10mm steel and chopped the prop up ready for welding, heatwraped the exhaust and made the clutch from a motorbike master cylinder          | ||

Extreme Veteran Posts: 592 Location: kent | more done to the kitten, prop is now done! at last, the adapter I made was wonky so I had my mate build one...what was also wonky so we just welded the thing together bodys back on, wiring is kinda done, just needs the body loom connecting to the bike loom...but I drove it!!!! out the unit and back in and loved it! clutch feels nice and springy so should get some nice 1/4 starts only problem was the gearlever wasn't man enough so a little bit of 5mm plate sorted that tomorrow ill attempt to plumb the brakes up and finish the wiring then go find a roundabout       | ||

Extreme Veteran Posts: 592 Location: kent | today I tided the loose wires up and finished plumbing in the brakes, also welded a cage around the prop tunnel just incase the prop decides to fall off managed to get a quick drive in it, only was able to take it upto 3rd but felt pretty mental =P   | ||

Extreme Veteran Posts: 592 Location: kent | made a adapter for the air box today, also the clutch slave cylinder has a crack in it and the gearlinkage is naff so ordered parts to replace the both also had to fit a bigger rad as the reliant one was blocked so fitted the rad off my old kit car on, works a treat     | ||

'88 MG METRO 1300 Posts: 1117 Location: Dudley, Midlands | What is the body and chassis alignment like on it? (Or what WAS it like?!!) I had a Scimitar SE6a that was shocking!! Another section of body laid up in the molds to lift the front corner where body was twisted... shims behind wishbones to put them in the right place... done from new at the factory too, not a bodge after repairs!! It wasn't subtle... but I bought it like this!  | ||

Extreme Veteran Posts: 592 Location: kent | Yeah, I loved it! Broke the car a bit but that's all part of being a novice The car done better then I thought it would Ps the barriers they put out are heavier than they look Edited by dazz 111 5/7/2015 10:02 PM | ||

Elf eating dog breeder Posts: 10531 Location: Guildford | dazz 111 - 6/7/2015 4:01 AM Yeah, I loved it! Broke the car a bit but that's all part of being a novice The car done better then I thought it would Ps the barriers they put out are heavier than they look I know, I wrote my bmw saloon off into one. Really annoys me as used to love Lydden before they put the rhino walls out, now it sucks because the best corner to throw big entries into is devils, so yeah, lets put 3 pissing rhino walls as close to the edge of the track as possible to really ruin your day. Glad it went well, videos it sounded good. now find me an rsv mille engine for my MG Midget, thanks! | ||
