Had some welding done by MattG from 16vminiclub: Also managed to remove the snapped studs in my subframe. Want to get it blasted then painted but that'll have to wait until I'm next home

You may have overlooked this but: SPACE.
I have tiny little shed with all my tools and parts and I can barely move in there.
Good storage will help maximise space and don't forget, if you don't have that much floor space, build upwards. Shelves, racks etc. Make use of it.

Right, I'm home for a few days so I've done a couple of bits and bobs. Cam cover ready for AN fittings to be welded on: The rear hub nuts were properly stuck on so I ended up grinding away at them and smacking them with a chisel. Finally got them off in the end. Rear radius arms built up with SC hubs and lightened superfins: Lockwired my steering arm bolts too: It's quite satisfying to do when it goes right. Want to have my rear subframe built up this week but snapped/stuck bolts are holding me back. Any ideas, I've tried welding nuts onto the ends but I can't get any good penetration and they keep snapping at the welds. Tried drilling a hole into some 2mm steel and welding them together but again can't get good enough penetration.

Hi buddy, do you still want this to go ahead? It's now probably going to be the 11th that I head back.

If the timing is right, then I don't see why not.
I'm planning on heading home at the beginning of June, probably the week starting on the 4th. PM me for more details if you wish. Hopefully, i'll be able to get it all in. Me and a mate managed to get an interior (inc driver and passenger) in a MK3 golf and my A3 should be of similar size. I'll just have to pack light haha

I could possibly help. I'm at uni in Bristol and might be heading home (Herne Bay) in a couple of weeks time. I'm unsure as to when exactly but I may be able to help.

Actually, clip ons look like they'll be fine.
Also those are allegro CV's. I'll get some shafts machined when the time comes.

Well, they do look good. Not as much stretch as I would have thought on 7's mine are only 6"
Some fast progress, keep it up.

They look great. Incidentally, it was James' wheels that made me paint mine white.

I hope you bullied James a bit when you picked those up. He likes to be bullied.

I'll be in a similar boat when once I've finished uni and got myself a job in a few months time.

Thanks, it's hard to progress while I'm at Uni but I just do what I can and keep buying bits until I'm home.
That's also why I don't have many recent images of the shell.
