Tim Hendy's Journal

Sprite now sitting outside under cover, the Missus insists on making space for her Volvo now the weather is starting to chill. Hopefully the car will be able to go for sandblasting soon, so I can get a better idea of how much work it needs.
Meanwhile the engine build is progressing slowly. After discovering some non-matching parts I've had to use a Mini 998 as a basis for the build, and await a 948 crank to complete the picture.

the Mini pistons have siezed-on rings that I'm working on now before new ones can be installed, and I will have to fit the stock 998 cam until funds become available to buy a sportier one.
