Harley wrote: Not an update as such: just something for people that had been watching from the start - I'm thinking that perhaps I'd be open to offers for all of my GTI parts and conversion bits. The short version of the list is: Subframe - painted and ready to bolt in. Driveshafts Radiator - modified and welded to be reverse of normal radiator. Inlet manifold - My very special performance manifold that looks completely stock! 2x GTI engines - 1 that was running plus an extra short block. 2x gearboxes (cino type for reduced RPM when driving). Everything I stripped out of the donor GTI car - full wiring, dash, driveline, brakes, fuel tank, exhaust. Engine mounts, alternator mounts, clutch adapter parts all painted and ready to go. Shifter linkages modified and ready to install Haven't completely decided what I'm going to do yet but the offer of green stuff might change my mind as it will help with the honda build! Wouldn't go cheap though - I put hundreds of hours into research, design, and the building of everything thinking I'd keep the car forever. Is this the stuff I tried to buy off you before? if so how much |

It's the GTI stuff. As I say: It's make an offer. If I like something I'll follow it up later. |

Looks really good Harley. Is it going straight in or is the body getting some work done first? Also, do those headers fit behind the grille ok? |

Got six months of bodywork to do before this drives unfortuantely, the shell is currently missing more panels than it has still attached. Those headers to clear, but it's still the cast iron manifold I'll be using when the exhaust gets done I think. |

Bummer. The headers look good. |

I'll be knocking up a jig in the week and getting some new flanges cut for it so its dimensionally the same flange to flange as the cast unit, but if it all gets too hard the cast one is my backup. |

Are the red points tow points? |

It's a rover mini so had subframe mounting rubbers, not sure if Harley's are solid, rubber(given the colour probably not) or nolethane polyurethane etc |

Solid alloy mounts. I'm using these too. http://www.minisport.com/spdsp601-mini- ... piece.html |

Nice drawings. Good to hear your still progressing. Make sure you tub the rear wheel arches while your at it. One thing I wish I did when restoring mine. It will avoid the scraping of the tyres on the sport pack arches. |

Wish I had the time to do it now but I dont - I'll just have to do it after the car is engineered before I paint it. |
