Nice to see you back, Slarti and belated happy 70th!

Nice colour choice, a bit of flatting and another couple of coats and it'll be very passable.

I did see this 4x4 turbo 'Mini' at...

I fully understand the space issue - I am lucky enough to have a decent sized double garage to work in and I concede it would be much more difficult if I didn't have that.

I'd still recommend...

Sorry to disagree with the consensus here, but spraying gives a much better finish than brush/roller imho.

All you need is a £100 compressor, a cheap(ish) gun - mine cost about £150, a bit of...

Hi Slarty, sorry, but I didn't see your post until this morning.

The DVLA rebody rules say that you need the original, unmodified chassis in order to keep the registration number. Most of us...

Sorry, Slarti, can't help with the electronic speedo, I'm afraid it's a bit high-tech for me.

Nice to see some progress though :)

Hi Slarti, I think the 'MOT within a month of inspection' thing isn't really a thing. There was about nine months between my Spyder being inspected and it being ready for its first MOT. The...

Good to see some progress. As for losing the front and rear extensions, the way I understand it is that the chassis needs to be unmodified between the axles, so it's okay to cut the ends off what...

Nicet to see some more progress, Slarti, and it's coming together nicely.

I do like your battery location, very neat and it'll move some of the weight towards the back.

Hi Slarti, nice to hear that you're still working on your Spyder.

I'll be at the Revival Friday and Saturday in 'Iris' (my light blue Midget) so I'll keep an eye out for you.

Freelander studs fit the hubs perfectly, just press out the old, press in the new. I did find that I needed 5mm spacers on the front wheels (with MGF alloys) as the MGF wheelnuts bottomed out...

Don't be seduced by a modern, shiny alloy radiator, they don't cool as efficiently as good old fashioned copper cored ones.

If your Herald rad is in good condition I'd go with that Slarti. You...
