Re: Project Shorty
Got a bit more done this week on the shorty. Mostly cosmetic so far.
New steering wheel
Seats back after been recovered
New brake cylinders and brake shoes
Also started to strip the engine today. The clutch is out and the new one ready to go back in. Learned more about minis this week than I have in the last 20. Great fun learning

Re: Project Shorty
Well todays lesson is how to fit brake shoes correctly, your trailing shoe is on upside down. 
A fully carbon fiber Mini Marcos shell weighs just 7.25kg.
