Nice progress dude. Those headlights look sweet.

[Rocket.]

Looking nice !

Thanks!
They are alot more yellow then i imagine when i ordered them, but i like it! :)

Fitted the hi lo's in front, and that was a freaking **** job!! The old owner had ruined the threads in both cones..
Changed both outer track rods, and fitted smaler spacers in front, went down to 9mm spacers instead of 19mm, so now i can steer

[Aasnes1]

Tried on the arches after hi lo and spacers change, looks promicing! 👍

[Vinay-RS]

Yeah looks like the hi-los have done their job, it is sitting nicely in the front :)

[Aasnes1]

Yes, but have to cut a little bit of the wings:)

[Vinay-RS]

Do you need to cut them so that you can turn?

[Aasnes1]

Yes, wheels touch a little bit at full turn.

[Vinay-RS]

Just make sure that you can still steer when you have some people sitting in the car, I heard from a friend that he had a similar issue when his car was fully loaded.

[Aasnes1]

Yes, have to do a fine adjust to the hi lo's when it's ready for the road again:)

Fitted the arches on left side today, love the looks of it! So glad i chose to go with the group 6 arches! :)
Next is to fit the hi lo's in the rear!

[Aasnes1]

Got the coil today, at now i got good solid sparks:) but, the starter can't handle the compression, it turns way to slow and gets extremely hot. So i ordered a hi torque starter from minispares, i allso had to order a new clutch sylinder and braided clutch hose, the old one have seized up.
Fitted the bonnet strap, ordered one more to the other side allso. All of the arches is on to!

[Aasnes1]

Hi lo's fitted in rear, was an easy job i have to say! So now its allmost perfect hight, have to fine adjust it when i get i on the road again:)
First picture is it way to low ;)





Fixed up the trunk with a kit from Minispares :)

[Vinay-RS]

This is a fantastic build! Well done on all the progress :)

[Aasnes1]

The right rear brake cylinder was leaking, so i changed that and cleaned up the brake parts.. Forgot to take picture of the new one installed, so i just have the before pictures





I have thought about dipping the car with a nice glossy color from eighter plasti dip or dip your car for the season, as i don't get the time to prep the car for paint this year.
But the dipping can result in a baad looking little mini, so i tried yesterday to juse some rubbing and some good polish on top, think the result was great! Of course the dents, scratches and rust spots will show, but it will look a lot better then it is now:) will do the rest of the car when i got it running :)









Im struggeling to get the arch on right side in front to sit the right way, the previous owner had cut to much out of the wing, you see that something is not right there.
