Inferno 182
thanks mate
just realised your user name and im not sure if you are aware but you sold me the linkage setup a couple of weeks ago on 16v mini
Nope didnt realise. Small world eh. I've recently crossed over to the modern side
These conversions are very quick indeed. Only thing I've ever driven that was quicker was my Redtop mini, but that was terifying on a whole diferent level.

little update
i have managed to drop the engine in and test fit to see everything is going to clear and thankfully its as it should be, even the aftermarket manifold will clear which i wasnt expecting so thats a bonus,
also my alloy fuel tank has arrived and collected my fibreglass doors so plenty to get on with now, just wish the bloody weather would warm up a bit
a few pics
and one of the the drivers door fitted
now i know everything is all clear i can take it apart and get the bulkhead ready for paint

treated to myself one of these 2 piece front ends to help with the clearance issues around the subframe.
sat it in place and its going to be perfect for what i need.
should look pretty wide once arches are on
plenty more to crack on with now

little more done today,
got the 4.5 gallon tank fitted with the uprated fuel pump and my braided fuel lines.
feel like im kind of getting somewhere now and hopefully by the end of next week it will be ready for the boot, interior and the bulkhead to be painted in ford frozen white

started to put things back together now, had to modify the fuel tank also as the fuel pump needed to be gravity fed
few pics
next i need to get the cage back in and sort out some door bars as i dont fancy not having any side protection with having fibreglass doors.
aslo i pick up my dash from being flocked tomorrow

i got hold of a dta with a full loom that had come off a vtec converted mini so should be fairly easy to sort out fitting and wiring,basically just connect all the sensors and power it up and away i go
well in theory thats what should happen lol
