Why does this always happen haha. I find it's usually when something you have done that hasn't worked or failed prematurely and the willpower to redo something you've already done disappears.

Haha, I think I was gradually losing motivation, so I picked the easy jobs to get on with, to keep the project moving. Then I finally got to the point where I only had only the difficult jobs left, and that is where the gagare door was shut for a couple of years!

My to do list was already quite long, and as I worked through them I stumbled across all of the other "little" jobs that needed finishing.

The wiring was the worst, I started that 4 years ago fresh in my head, 4 years later I am looking at it thinking 'why the hell did I wire it that way,' to realise several hours later while sorting something else out why I did do it that way, and it all made sense again.

Just seen this, looks like a great build and should be a blast once its finished

[Matty...]

Splitter near enough finished now, just the outer supports to finish off (awaiting delivery of rose joints).

Intercooler and duct painted now too.

[Matty...]

Support brackets now all done.

Next job is finish the engine tuning, and get some miles on it!

We have paint, starting to look like a car again! Just some new polycarb windows to fit, then a new air duct.

I am loving this build, having spent a year as a teenager building my friend his first car, A 1100cc Mini with all the usual upgrades this make me want to get a promotion and pour my money into a mini project :lol:

Ha, thanks. This one started life as a 998, then went 1275, then 1293 on a weber ported head etc..., then 1293 turbo 5 ports, then 16v turbo, it's a slippery slope!

That's the nice thing about a mini, so many tuning options!
