Phoenix Estate Vvc K-Series Diy Subframe Conversion

2 minute(s) of a 66 minute read

So today I cut off all the unwanted bits of the Mgf frame and offered it up again

It is no better fit at all and I haven't even got the steering rack on it. The Phoenix 'clubman' front must be the same length as a round nose, because it needs extending by about 90mm to fit, which I'm not interested in doing.

to make it sit within the Phoenix front end I'd have cut the rear off here (pens mark the spot) and fit the steering rack inside. Or cut the bulkhead drastically and grp a new one in. Which I am also not interested in doing.

Time to order some more cutting discs and have a go at the mini frame.

I made a start today.
I used my pipe bender for the first time. It bends round tube and even went well with square tube. I did this:

And then cut out the sides

Just waiting for my engine mounts to turn up and get my engine hoist back off my mate. Then hopefully I'll wriggle the engine in.
