Well, parts have been our issue last few months.
Looking at transplanting engine, management, fuel cell into a MGZR

Just need to locate a car, buy new cage and bits to convert.
Hopefully by June it will be all in on 325mm brembos with 310ish bhp

Shell has been sold pending payment to a chap in Scotland who is going to track it, so it'll live on but not in our hands

"Gooon 2" build will commence after the shell has been collected and I have the space to work on it.

Nev the alternator is being swapped to a Rover 620ti item, so no more failing Mini ones

Gooonys engine/box is going into the ZR, just need Jase to admit we need the GT30 for it
