Excellent.

I'd assumed someone had bumped the thread asking for updates but no, real progress.

Look forward to some more updates

Happy days it's still moving forwards bow

If you feel it's taking too long and want to feel better take a look at "Project Binky" on YouTube. Celica GT4 running gear into a Mini. They started making it back in 2013 and released the last update yesterday!

So again , visual progress is limited but plenty more jobs ticked off the list, panel behind the rear seats installed , rear seat belt mounts mostly complete , front windscreen wipers completed (modified Espace mechanism operated by Lexus controls) washer bottle fitted and operational , horns fitted and operational , electric rad cooling fans fitted and operational , front spot light wiring completed , NOS wiring reinstalled , boot locks now working and just waiting for switch to arrive to complete , rear camera wiring completed and working ...... I think that’s about it , lots of work but doesn’t look any different. Hoping the weather gets a little warmer for the rest of the week !

Some inspiration for you:
Walter Rohrl in an 800hp Porsche powered VW T5 van.

Does that mean you straddle the tunnel. Is that comfortable or a necessary requirement?
