because it comes from the factory running on only three cylinders, whereas the A series needed some sabotaging :lol:

Did have - I think the whole point of the tread is that the subframes were hacked about so much to get it in he is now returning it to original I presume to put an A series in

I don't know if you guys bothered to look past the first page????

Fark, I'm impressed

These poor buggers (beggars?) have nothing and not much to work with or work from, yet they have fabricated and re-manufactured the front and rear subframes and a lot of the body panels including the boot floor and a boot lid - both from scratch.

Ans all in the safety sandells of course!

Amazing, simply amazing. I like the way the panelbeater is called a 'denter' in Pakistan.

incidentally, there's an interesting MINI (as opposed to Mini) project on the MIG Welding Forum, where the guy is roof chopping a MINI Cooper, but doing a good job.

Any one else notice the cameo of MadMK1 on page 2.
The guru making that boot lid from flat steel is bloody amazing

I'd be happy to swap the guy n 850 bootlid for that, just to say that I had a hand-made bootlid :shock:

There is a book I have at home on how to restore your Moke - the guy who wrote it details how to hand make nearly every panel - and most of those are flat. :shock:

There, the parts are hard to come by and labour is cheap.
Here, the parts are easy to come by, and its the labour which get you.
