Before & after

Post by hanlminiman »

How about a simple thread with 2 images of the project cars, Start & Finish. Is it possible to create a gallery of projects? There have been so many interestin' projects, without the "G" (sorry lockdown leads to radio2 Friday virus - Wright?). It is Friday tomorrow.

When I was in Sydney a few years back I thought I’d track down the same house and take a photo of the same car in front :D . Before and after for the house and car!

Sadly the current owner has removed the engine/subframes, sold them and is converting it to electric.

Not sure what’s meant to be there?
I’ve fitted a stainless Maniflow free flow manifold to an RC40.
It came with a “clamp & tag” but I ended up using the clamp, but making my own bracket to the gearbox.
Mikalor stainless clamps on the joins.

Wow! What a car that Innocenti Andy. Are those 10" Campagnolos? What a shame to hear they've gutted it, plenty of other Minis to convert to Electric. Hopefully I can put my Inno in this thread soon...
Of course I know what a dipstick is, you get called something often enough you look it up!

That Frog looked really solid for a UK car, normally just sweep-ups. Is that Speedwell Blue ? (Restoring one atm and it's in that hideous beige)
