Although it is, a little. That’s because we’ve had an idea. We’re thinking of massively increasing the scale of this project. Well, joining our project to another one which’d mean longer range, better parts…and possibly more active involvement of some other…
Tangential: Work clothes
I’ve been working on cars since I could walk. Well, err, okay, that’s an over statement. But I remember being about 9 and working on cars – helping my dad change the clutch on a Mark II Escort (if anyone…
They’re Heeere
So, a little update for you all – having made a little trip down to Cornwall to collect another part, we’re pretty much ‘there’ on the components for the transmission. We now have, from front to back: – Brake servo…
More Part-y time
So, we are now the ‘proud’ owners of a 3.89:1 Mark II Escort Differential, a Mark II Escort rear axle, and a Sierra gearbox. Not all of them have arrived yet as they’re being shipped from the four corners of…
The parts, they are a-comin’
Well, they’re starting to. We found a company that make a LHD sierra gearbox fitting kit for the Minor, which solves a couple of problems that’d been dogging us for a while – what gearbox to use and how to…
A little internet browser history
So, we don’t just spend our days when we’re working on the project looking at battery specs, flywheels and engine mounts. Oh no. Sometimes we dink on the internet and find other interesting projects. Now, some of you who’ve seen…
The toys are coming (eventually)
We’ve discussed Rebecca’s conversion with several companies. We’ve found one company that can supply a left hand drive gearbox with a functional clutch (and they’re UK based) which is very good news. The company we’re planning to work with on…
The Video
So, we’ve uploaded produced the promo trailer for our project! We’ll be posting a bit more of an update in the next week – we’ve been chatting to lots of people (more) about the project and have lots of exciting…
The quiet belies much thought
We’re still in discussions with a couple of engineering places about potential transmissions, and Nikki at <a href=”http://transportevolved.com”>Transport Evolved</a> has provided us some interesting battery information, which may lead to a slight change of plan on that front. As with…
Spec change
So we’ve not even started yet, and we’re tweaking the spec. Well, that’s the point of this prolonged development period. We were intending to use the EMW Smartcharge 12000 – a 12kW charger – for our project. However, having chatted…
