Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
that reminds me of a cat a friend of mine had , it started flagging its territory inside the home and at one time hit a electrical wallplug , never seen a cat move so fast or miauw so high , i think his "familyjewels" where smoking , he still walks funny ocasionally flags but does not go anywhere near the corner where he got hit

should have seen when i was driving out of forks.... didn't wanna get caught on a 2 lane highway after dark so i was practically drifting the rental van on the 10 miles of corners. overtaking cars and stuff. don't like driving in the woods around dusk... don't know what might pop out in front of you. Sasquatch, deer, moose, raccoon. etc..... i was leaving port angels just as the sun was almost gone. got back to the ferry when it was dark.

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
Kitchen is done! No pics as of this moment. Also had a big family gathering at my place for a 3 day weekend. Then went to Crater Lake a for four days. Can't get enough of that place. Swam in the lake this time. Did a little cliff diving too. Needless to say it's been a busy month and not very conducive to Minx2000ification...
But I worked on it today (brace for actual progress update): Finally got the lower shock mount fully welded: ![]() Powdercoated: ![]() Reassembled: ![]() Reconfig'ed the arm jigs for the opposite side. Then I bent up the tube for the PS upper: ![]() And started mock up ...will be faster this time with the jigs already built and the opposites to match to. That and no kitchen remodel... ![]() ![]() Last edited by Frizzle Fry; 09-01-2010 at 01:15 AM. |

Hope the kitchen isn't too nice or the wife might need other rooms done to match. Thats my battle now after the bathroom remodel.

You are a master fabricator! This is my favorite thread to follow on the internet PERIOD. I can't wait to see what you'll post next. I just wish I was half as good with metal as you are. Then I wouldn't be scared to do anything I want to my truck. Thanks for sharing man!

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
Did I see a little shot of your engine bay in a car mag here in the UK (Practical Performance Car)? It was on the "whats in Octobers issue" in an article about fitting S2000 engines into other cars. Is this something you're aware of or a random shot they've picked up off the web?
