The radiator was reconditioned with a larger element - I had to modify the brackets + that the new front end is a little bit lower than the older one.
end of 2009
This blog is about my Davrian Mk7 with Mini engine. I bought it in England 1989. At the time it was totally dismantled and it was just a pile of car parts I took back to Sweden. I then started to assemble it, I had to manufacture a lot of parts but after a year I had it running. I participated in a few historical races, but in the end of 1995 I put it into my workshop again. My aim was to make it even better and I dissasembled the car. Then nothing happened with the car for several years.

Next work on the Davrian
Nothing happened on the car until the second half of 2009. The time consuming work with fitting all the new parts and adjusting the old ones took almost half a year (not full time work, but every now and then)....
New bodyparts.
I decided that the old front and rear end was in too bad condition - I wanted new parts!. In the end of 2006 I travelled to Wales to Team Duffee Engineering, had a very good and interesting meeting. I ordered: a front end, a rear end, a bonnet, an engine cover and some seats. They arrived in Sweden in the beginning of 2007 !!!
Summer of 2006
The pictures below shows the work carried of in summer of 2006. The underside of the body was repaired. The engine bay was in bad condition and it was repaired and reinforced. All paint was removed.
