Finished

So after 517 days I have gone from this.........


















to this!!!!!

Let me qualify finished. Its ready to undergo testing in order to get through the engineering and registration process. Its driveable and if there was a track day tomorrow, I could now go and drive my own Clubman on the track ;)

From here the next steps are:

• Trip to Redback Motorsport for suspension setup, wheel alignment and general checkup
• Tune up and possible trip onto the dyno
• New muffler 
• IM240 emissions test with the RMS at Botany
• Engineering check, brake test and noise test
• VIN and Registration plates (hopefully!)

I am reliably informed these cars are never truly finished. I will still need to do the tonneau cover, harnesses (for track) and the Autometer Tach Adapter but for now I have nothing else to do in order to get it registered.

A massive thank you to a pair of fellow Birkin drivers. To Steve for all his hard work and assistance on the two person jobs, and for keeping me motivated when the build got difficult and being there for the high 5 moments. Also to Maurice who provided endless hours of advice, design photos and suggestions on specific issues via email. 

Here's a few more photos ;)
