Very nice! What grille is that?

[Miniac86]

I stand to be corrected but it's a modified Mk1 Morris Cooper grill with an Innocenti Grill surround/ moustache. Absolutely love Phantoms mini.

[Orange-Phantom]

Indeed Miniac 86 is spot on!

 

Cheers for the nice feedback, I consider myself very fortunate to own and drive her.

 

In fact I'm going to tinker with her after tea.  I've got new bulbs and relays to re-wire the headlights properly.  The cable on them at present is too thin combined with no relays, plus the Cibie Biode lights need to be wired differently as well.  The spots are meant to come on at the same time as the low beam but they don't which mean's high beam is great for looking miles down the road, but you loose the vision of the road in front of you!

 

Also I'm re-wiring the indicator units as they house the side lights as well (the Biodes can't have any sidelight bulb in them).  They are currently not bright enough so time to modify me-thinks!  They are going to work like a type 1 switchback bulb when I'm finished.

Very nice!

 

What arches do you have and were they ready to fit?

[Joshwa457]

They are carbon miglias. They don't come ready to fit, I made some steel brackets and had them powder coated. Long L-shape ones to force them into the right position. The arches are surprisingly bendy! Had a bit of trimming to do to fit them around the lips that hold the panels together.

Took a good day. Not happy with the fronts though, they stick out a tad to far. I'll get that sorted soon enough though
