Project Cliff - The Cherry Red Thirty by stretch tech

4 minute(s) of a 220 minute read

hi all, i managed to get 3 hours in today

gave the engine bay another coat of paint





fitted the pre built front subframe









fitted the air vent pipes







and finally we dis assembled the racking and set up this beast of an engine hoist kindly lent to us by may dad's mate Paul .........



.....it can lift a fully built mini

that's all for today, tomorrow we will be working all day to hopefully get the mini running fingers crossed it goes smoothly

hi all, update from yesterday

first we used the engine hoist to drop the engine onto it's mounts and loosely fitted the bottom steady arm





then we fitted the starter motor, alternator, coil, distributor cap and HT leads







then we fitted the clutch slave cylinder, clutch master cylinder, brake servo, top engine steady, ballast resistor, inlet manifold, carb and airfilter (which took some adjustment to clear the bulk head) and the new lcb exhaust manifold









then we fitted the y piece and gear linkage







that's all from yesterday, i'm going into the garage now to put a few more hours in
