Just though I'd bring everyone upto date over here Day 8 of ownership - Not much done today, I got the old flitch panel removed and prepared for the new panel, just the bottom of the windscreen to sort now and then get the welder out There wont be any updates for a few days as the weather is not looking good until Saturday, so the min has been tucked up is a warm blanket Day 13 After much deliberation upon discovering the A Post was shot I've decided to replace the whole A post and O/S inner wing. So it was out with the, drill, dremel and grinder again Day 14 of ownership Finished work @ 3, collected inner wing, got to work on the min Only screwed on at present, hoping to get it all welded up tomorrow night Day 15 The panels and big hole required to replace the A Post and inner wing Day16 rain rain rain So I put up the gazeebo to work under The front is all screw on now, just got the final panel alignment to do before I fire up the welder Anyhoo on to the pics Its a mini again Day 26 After not having any time this week thing have slowed down but I got the inner wing, bulkhead and scuttle done today Day 27 - Sunday 12th August N/S almost ready for A panel Hole in O/S floor to deal with Removed rear subframe and found more holes Sheared off one N/S bolt, i'll weld a nut on to remove it but at least the heal board looks ok The old subframe Mmmmm, remember this still has over 8 months MOT

Gauge is tank out job on a sierra, which 99% of the time means sheared captive nuts time if not careful
Make sure you soak the 2 bolts by the spare wheel well and the strap retaining bolt a good few times with wd40. If they start to go tight just spray again and do it up, leave for a few mins and repeat until the bolts are out don't force them or its welder out time to put the tank back in

Some good, some bad, some other news
The Good The Bright Red Cobra Monaco seats have arrived Got to collect the harnesses this week The steel arrives to make the seat frames on Friday
The Bad It failed the noise test so the exhaust needs an extra silencer One of the carbs has failed and needs rebuilding again
The Other The Megasquirt ECU is all built Edis and coil pack sourced So the plan now is to swap to a single carb for March 10th (due to tiime and money) with MS and edis for ignition until the throttle bodies are ready to fit

Car weights 750kg and engine makes around 250bhp which gives around 330bhp per tonne Running AP 4 pots and 300mm discs Leda suspension with 600lb and 900lf springs so the ride is a little firm
