but the diff is not under control - this is a Jack Knight diff that I think is worn out. The plan was just to buy a new diff but it was not so easy - I also need to buy new final drive, new output shafts, new drive shafts (The Davrian has Mini pre pot inner joints and no one can supply output shafts for that model) - and the drive shaft is special Mini in one end and Hillman Imp in the other end - so I would need new Mini drive shafts a the inner part of the Imp shafts...... or find spare parts for the original diff........not so easy....
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.

A few years ago, I started to work on the car again - first there was a lot of work put into repairing the body, then the new bodyparts and the paintwork.
My aim is to have it ready for racing, but I have not made a time table - it have to take the time it takes to get it ready.....
