Nice work!!! Won't be long before it's on the road

Did you try to rotate the clutch release arm a few splines on the gearbox? Could have helped with the adjustment.

no, didnt want to mess with that, looks nice at the moment all painted and that. only took 10 min to modify the bracket.

bit of painting, shocks, headlights, front bumper and its done ready for mot, after i get the engine verified by a garage.

Hi, after spending hrs rubbing the body down, I've spent the day putting the final coat of paint on the body, towards the end of the week, glass shall be going back in,

Not looking forward to that bit.

the windscreen is the only hard part to put back in. the back piece and the door glass is easy, all I can say is to just really take your time, and preferably have someone help you that has done it before

Brilliant thread, and a stunning build. I like SJs a lot, and pick-ups about as much, so

Very tasty indeed, well done.

cheers dudes,

yea ive got my dad to help, hes done a few minis in his time so it should be ok,

If your dad is used to doing minis, he must have actually got lost in the engine bay on this one! I used to have a '65 Cooper S... cracking but a complete 'mare to work on, and probably even more rust-ready.

This was many many moons ago, I think the last one I remember in the garage was a racing green mini pickup, was pretty sweet, don't know where it ended up, got mine to play with now tho. Lol

I always look at the engine in the kja, and think that looks to small, was surprised how well it how's to be honest.
