A Guy next to Kerzers. I payd 400.- Chf for all four Wheelarches and Engine Bay. A very ok price in my opinion!

Dry ice cleaning.......... what/how is it? It's certainly VERY effective.

Yes it was also done on an American car restoring programe at Discovery.

Dry Ice cleaning is in fact like Sandblasting but with frozen co2. It works fine to remove tar, fat, oil or all sort of organic dirt. It is a very gentle way to clean the underfloor or engine and so on...

The car can stay together as it is not abrasive and don‘t destroy rubber, plastic or paint. So Brake lines, gaiters, spark leads ect will just become clean.

Put the brake booster in place with manufacuring some brackets and pipes. Will need the space in the engine room for air filter and auxilary radiator...

Test fit of the Subframe to make the last brake pipe.

Nice pipework but you seem to have servo assisted back brakes and no connection to the front brakes?

Good Eyes Simon!

On this pic the Pipe from the servo to the subframe is not not built. I had to drill a hole and build the pipe. It was late when whe were finished and no pic was made...

Sorry bit late to be offering an answer, but it looks quite close to red lead primer, common for use as an anti corrosion primer

car is looking great

Some little progress today...

Post by **Fanfaniracing** » Wed Apr 17, 2019 11:45 am

Fitted the new overhault Speedo and Speedwell Rev counter

So, after to less time and a too long to do list Whe finally get it done! The mini is MOT‘d and is proudly wearing now his Arden powered Engine! Hurra!

Got the engine in last night and could made it running and driving this morning.
Just crazy the noise it makes especially the Dog box.

Now i have to finetune these Amals to get the maximum out of this Setup and if then everything is working make the finish of the car.

Fantastic work!

What's your calipers?

What sort of bonnet will you fit? could be better to keep the original bonnet with short stack?
