update
Breif update after today. Finnished welding fuel tank up, made a Z-cars style tubular inside bumper thingy(Anti intrusion / crash bar which has
brackets for fixing the radiator. )From Z-cars site.
Fixed my polo gti radiator to that. stuck(literally) front wing assembly on with Duck tape, put bonnet on. Did a bit more wireing it now turns over
but no water in as yet.
Next job to sort is under car plumbing as per Z-cars then hopefully fire it up.

Well it now runs, sorted all those little things, stainless under car pipes for radiator, silicone hoses all conected. Fuel pump still needs direct
feed but what the hell. Bang first turn and it started. Now to sort out front bodywork, then strip it down.
Need to chose a colour now. Er Stealth Black?. Maybe.

It's strange how they fire up instantly when you first try them but after fitting to the car and leaving over the winter they are a bastard to
get started!!

I like the sound of the motor, so will probably start her up quite often. Should have changed the oil etc, but you know how it is. Men and their toys.
We never grow up.

I wouldnt start it up that often unless you are gonna drive it, they like to blow plugs if you just run them in the garage..

I'm quite tempted to sell my R1 Striker and build an R1 Mini. It'd go beautifully with my Yamaha bike collection and 'er
indoor's '66 Mini 1000!
