Regular Posts: 117 Location: New Zealand | I had a go at the old heat gun on the faded plastic bumper trick. It works quite well. (Treated side at left, untreated to the right) It's a pity the flares and front air dam are made from a different material. Edited by Benmin 9/6/2016 10:51 AM | ||

Regular Posts: 117 Location: New Zealand | This could be upsetting for some...........Real deal mk2 TURBO barn find/donation. This lowish kilometer shell has been raped and pillaged as a Mini donor. I'll grab what I can, but I know it spent the end of it's life with a medium spec non-turbo setup in it. Edited by Benmin 25/6/2016 7:07 AM | ||

Regular Posts: 117 Location: New Zealand | I managed to find all the coolant hoses, brand new off the shelf. Unfortunately I now have two and a half spare sets sitting on my shelf. | ||

Regular Posts: 117 Location: New Zealand | did you get all the new hoses off ebay or where? Yes, I picked up the various hoses from our local auction site - Trademe. (You'd be welcome to a set if you were a little closer) | ||

Regular Posts: 117 Location: New Zealand | It's been a challenging month. I had to remove the radiator, due to both tanks leaking - the one that I fitted is not the one that I had repaired earlier in the thread. So fortunately I was able to get the new seals from my originally repaired radiator, fitted to the one with the better core. I have also been battling with the left front Hydra can. I am now on to my third one but seem to have got it now - its a little soul destroying coming out to see the Metro in the morning sitting on just one bump stop. But we got there in the end. Replaced the reverse light switch, and did I mention I've had her running? Slam panel back in....Sorting out the pipe from the air box to the turbo was a bit on an A$$ also. I did mention I got her running again aye. (I forgot the grill ) The wheel centers will go on after we get a wheel alignment. | ||

Regular Posts: 117 Location: New Zealand | MetroGaz - 25/8/2016 8:24 AM Hi This project is really looking good - well done! MG Cheers, the push is to get her ready for our summer. I'm pretty sure the sun is on its way........ DotMatrix - 25/8/2016 6:40 PM the car looks good. how does it drive? All things considered, my first drive went well. A little bit bumpy in the rear - I might play around with the Nitrogen pressures and see what happens. Boost was good, a little torque steerey. It was awesome. | ||

Regular Posts: 117 Location: New Zealand | Clean sheeted(?) a WOF check today(nz version of a MOT I believe). I'm pretty pleased about that. We have however started running very rich at idle. I have reset the float level etc, cleaned at all the gunk. refitted the carb and found, what I think looks like a pin hole leak at the main fuel supply brass pipe. Can anyone tell me if these can be replaced? or should I try hit it with some sil-fos? Fresh photo with the grille fitted and a new WOF! | ||
