So continued to put things back together, although connecting up the radiator & hoses prior to refastening the anit-roll bar was a rookie error, luckily I hadn't filled it up yet! Then of course the water pump output was leaking so had to be taken off, new gasket made & put back on. Come to...

When I had mine, I used 25mm Spacer/PCD converters & ran MGF 15" alloys front & back, also did the front coilover conversion, used Justins setting from that post & it handled great.

Today was I am FFFFF Knackered, I am not as young as I used to be this is getting harder

Which subframe is the 1.8 fitted to the MG or the Mini, if MG have you widened the track at the front to match the rear? Is it on the road, I am only aware of 3 Freestyles with 1.8's fitted, 1 is a stretch Red & Silver, 1 is a Yellow & Black & the last is still owned by @Danny & that is Orange...

Did a compression test on the engine & it's come back as 150, 120, 165 & 160 so this happened

Mine is due it's first MOT at the beginning of June I think it is, do you know if you can MOT 30 days early like a car that already has an MOT without loss of time?

Amazing work as usual, far better than my bodgit & scarper methods

Then onto this, not sure if it's a slightly different shape but it was like wrestling an octopus getting it somewhere near

So I have made a start After an hour I ended up with

Tigerseal, the hard part is the fibreglass has warped with storage before I got it, so getting it to the right shape for the Tigerseal to hold it.

Can anybody guess what it is?

All the wiring is just about done, the only things that need doing are the indicators in the mirrors which couldn't go on until the scuttle & screen were fitted. It's been propped up against the workshop in the back garden since last October. So today brought it around the front to refit it...

Changed the front radius arm bushes on the Jimny a few weeks ago for castor correction ones, I got a spare set of radius arms & fitted the bushes before I started, 2 hours start to finish. Yesterday I started to tackle the rears, 4 hours later I had 1 off & almost back on, but couldn't quite...

Well done, hope the new owner has time to complete it, it would be good to see more on the road.
