    Tom, I'm sorry to hear about your grandad, he sounded like a great roll model. Bereavement is the reason I first got the spanners out on my restoration. Mini projects are a wonderful family bonding experience and help with the grief. On you last comment of trying, you sir don't have to worry. From what I see with the house restoration and this channel as well as the general editing skills and attention to detail, not to mention I see you have replied to every comment below shows us just how hard you try and the fantastic results you achieve. Keep it up and bring on the noise 👍

    Sorry for your loss of your grandfather and now your grandmother too Tom. Often there is no rhyme nor reason as to why things happen, and at times life can be very tough and cruel. But I’m sure both your grandparents were extremely proud of you and all you’ve achieved. You’ll have them in your heart forever. Someone once said “Don’t cry because it’s over, Smile because it happened “. Cherish their memories, talk about them often and they’ll always be there to watch over and guide you. Take care bud ❤️

    Uprating a mini is fraught with problems a big increase in power requires brakes handling drive train tyres etc you often find the extra power soon finds weaknesses. Far better in my opinion is to have a track car on trailer and a stock on the road .

    Why build the car in the first place, having spent all that money on bodywork to put a 998 back in, crazy.
    Even the 1380’s aren’t that fast, it’s more a bare minimum they need than making it ‘fast’
    Hope it’s a proper 1380 with a decent cam and head and not some limp-wristed mild cam afair?

    • @TomShorrock
      @TomShorrock  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I couldn’t afford to put a big engineer in it, at first I was an apprentice on poor money.
      This is why I’ve now put a 1380 in it.
      If you watch episode 2 of the series I have all the engine specs there

      @@TomShorrock think I would always do the engine first as the other superficial mods must’ve cost a bit. That’s me though, I stuck a modified metro turbo lump with around 170hp in a faded russet brown mini 850 that looked completely std and left it looking shite with poor paint, but my god did it upset some folk when it went, nobody expected it!
