I hope to get a chance to see it this summer, and some of all the other nice cars inhere

It was way past midnight, when Richard and I went home from the garage.

we got a lot of stuff off the car, and without breaking one singel bolt.

Here is the tanks & fuel lines (16mm outlets from each tank)

Next up, was the removal of the rear subframe .

Here is Richard & frame

Its now February 8th 2007.

This day, was one of the best, of the whole resto process

I was in the garage with Richard, when the phone rang.

It was the owner of the JS turbo bits, that was removed from the car 20 years earlier.

He asked what I was doing with the car ?

I told him that Richard & I was in the garage, and had startet to desmantle the car.

He then asked what I would do with it, once it was restored ?

I told him that I would keep it, as it was the most interesting car I had.

His next words was the best news I could get he said

" OK, I wont be the one, stopping you from making it right "

Finally after 7 years, he agreed to sell me the parts.

We agreed that I should come on the sunday, and pick them up

I could hardly wait

Subframe being cleaned / primed .

That's a great result having the original turbo parts.

All good things come to those that wait.

Hello JC,

What brilliant news, I'm so pleased for you, christmas has come again, I wonder how well you are sleeping with all this excitement, keep us posted.

Pete

Hi guys


yes it was shurely christmas again, but this time it cost money

the most expensive christmas ever



We have now come to sunday 11 of February 2007.


This was the day I should pick up the turbo / carb / exhaust / etc.

my friend had layed out all the parts, onthe floor, when I arrived.

He told me, that he had second thoughts, while digging out the parts.

But luckely for me, did he not have a change of heart.

It was VERY late when I arrived home (always is, when I visit him)

as he collects tuning parts, for Mini,s and have been collecting for more than 25 years.

there is SOO much nice stuff to see, and talk about, so time flies



no pictures, from this day, but I have a video.
Its loaded into my computer, but I cant open it ''

EDIT 14 - 2 - 2012

Video recorded with my mobile phone, on 11 - 2 - 2007 http://youtu.be/PaKRYeWY9Zw

It's Saturday the 11th where I am How far have you had to travel for it Jens.

Hello JC,

I think your brains have leaked out of your ears while you were asleep, or is it the excitement of collecting you new parts, or is it the trauma of parting with so much money.

Have a good day anyway,

Pete

Hi Ronnie, you forgot the 2007

I made this thread becourse its now been 5 years since I restored the car, but I didnt have a computer back then
so becourse of my 5 year jubilee, and JanSpeed,s 50 I made this tread in "real time" as it happened 5 years ago.

My friend lives on the south part of Sealand, its a one & a half hour drive.

Richard had come over from Sweden, and we drove out to the garage,
to see how things were fitted.

It was fairly logical, how all was placed, but we could not find the place for the brakeservo

We could see it still was fitted, with the turbo conversion, but we could not find out where

Getting ready, for the removal, of the engine.

The position of the brake servo, was located, we found the holes for servo hose & brake pipes, under a thick layer, of filler

JanSpeed put it, behind the LH wheel.

The desmantling continius, engine is also out now.

Hello JC,

I understand that this was 5 years ago, I think!! but do you have a picture of its current condition or are you going to make us wait for the story to unfold.

Its a good job I am A PATIENT MAN.....

Pete
