im currently doing my mini up,
and i have a list to do in no particular order:


new engine (next two weeks)


wiring loom (next month)


dashboard


interior lights


roll cage


bucket seats/harnesses


red mudflaps


trs tow strap


push button start


louvre




and Im also buying a rev limiter from 'retroracer' who is in the same mini club a myself. 'hill top minis'


I have loads of pictures (400) in the last 2 months to be exact and i will make a project thread but, i have been very ill lately so i havnt been able to do so. Just getting back on my feet now.




I have always wanted miglia arches, i know that you need bracket and such to fit them, but i dont know how hard they are to fit compared to normal arches e.g. group 2 etc. but im starting to think they wont look right.




Obviously that is my own opinion, so i wondered what everyone else thinks of what arches i should put on him.




the wheels are 6x10 cosmic wheels and i really like how they stick out at the moment. But i really want arches at the same time! It had previously, group 2 arches with the lip cut off, but i was not a fan so off they came!




anyway....


heres some pictures of how he is at the moment:


(thats meee) aha

You wont bs able to run if without arches for legal reasons. IMPO i think it would look good with miglias or some group 2 wides. Have a look through the arches at abs motorsport.
