should be very nippy, the mini weights around 700kg fully laden i think, and am planning to get a 1380 engine which should produce around 110hp if i set it up right. worked out the power to weight ratio and compared to my old mk5 escort i would have needed 200hp to keep up with this! obviously just a rough estimate as gear ratios will be different as other factors are!

today pushed my car out to let some air into it! also needed to clean the piles of shit gathering underneath it! also had a chance to get some pics of it in the daylight.

[Linked Image]

with the worst part of the work now over i reckon i shall be sending it away to be sprayed by the end of march hopefully. managed to attempt the re-bumpering of the front, it looks ok from the distance but when you get close the gaps don't. need to concentrate on the front arches now as i have chopped them the need some adjusting so they line up snuggly. due to it being injection moulded plastic nothing sticks to it so may need to get fiberglass ones.

[Linked Image]

just looking back it seem i have posted the same pic twice what i meant to show was the right hand tank by its self

[Linked Image]

and it installed with the left hand tank
