I hope so.

Xmas came early and I have some new guages. Sold as owners project was abandoned. I am chuffed at the price, I was not aiming to buy one now but at almost half the cost of new ones I had to have them. Enjoy Drew up the template to drill the brake discs and printed out to scale. I will glue this onto a plate and centre punch the holes and then drill

Oh no, I was just planning my assault on your monster torque figure. Need a hand over xmas give me a ring. Am home for 2 weeks

Gearbox built, tail housing needs some paint on it to make it look nice. I have also started to polish the bellhousing. Being friends with Terry aka tazzman is not good for anybody Moving on to the front brake conversion now. The original Discs on the MG are quite small. I decided to go for a 240mm disc conversion using the ford KA discs. As the PCD is different, the disc will have to be redrilled at 45 degree from the original hole. I will be using wilwood calipers for the conversion. So far I have all the clearances am after. I will be taking the setup to a machine shop to have the discs drilled and I will make up a mounting bracket.

That is unbelievable Terry. That has been a major bump in power. Need to get out for a run on a dry weekend.Great work Rich

I think you need to have a go in my zetec. Not boring at all. Surprised you feel like that about the engine. Get it cammed and see what that is like newman cams are only about 350.

With the renault tranaxle, you can build a monster xe engine.

Why not use the hillman imp setup for a laugh :rofl: . too much sugar been on the mince pies

Thats what I am talking about. Enough of all this exodus to mx-5's. Can you tell I do not like them. They are just sooo bland. Reminds me of the sport car my Dad would chose. Apologise to 5 owners, I am sure you love your cars

Oh dear, what are u thinking?

Pervy Vet

Nick, you are such a show off

Oh Keith,is that what happens during visits to ur place? Thanks chaps

Asking for more work. I stick to my cable clutch religiously.

Haha, we all bothering on tee total. So apart from the odd bottle of beer not much more. I just worried it will get boring if we are all couped up in the house watching tv

I am after some ideas on what to do on th 27th/28th of Dec. I have a few friends and their partners coming over and I am drawing a blank on what to do during the day

So I picked up a knackered gearbox from Grim. Gearbox stripped now and ready for a rebuild. Great gearbox chap. Fully inspected and looks ok. New input shaft ,baulk rings, bearings kit ordered. I spent couple of hours this afternoon modifying the tail housing as I do not want to open a new hole in the tunnel. I modified it and Martin @ Mk welded it. Pictures speak for themselves We turned down an alloy spacer to hold the shaft in place and prevent any play so the shaft is aligned correctly

Oh my days Terry you lucky boy.Rich am next in line, need something bespoke and shiny making. Terry I will definitely have that anodised or laquered to maintain that lovely shine.

<p>Anybody able to help me transport my shell to mk engineering for a roll cage. Please. Its only 56in wide so will fit in a lwb van if need be.

Oh dear uncle Terry is going to need spare underpants. :rofl:

Had a tiff with the law?

Sorry Nigel, just notices your post. Its not the zetec. Its a 1275 going to 1330 with omega pistons.

Few of you know I have been playing with an old mg midget on and off for a bit. Just some pictures of the progress so far Welding all finished. Chassis stone chipped and fastback body fitted Should look like this finished https://www.flickr.c...ite/5211672180/ https://flic.kr/p/dZLE59
