Jesus thats some shinny looking build up! Going to look cleaner than the day it left the factory.

How did the house move all go?

Doesn’t take much with a mini haha

Unfortunately didn’t move before the lock down, so we are stuck where we are at the moment until the lock down gets lifted on certain things. Fingers crossed not to long...

Ah thats a pain. Fingers crossed it all moves along quickly for you once its lifted in the right areas for you bud.

Mini really is coming on nice! Its motivating me to get back on mine.

Back at it today, first up was to put some paint on the parts within the cockpit that are visible when the interior is fitted 

 

 

 

 

 

also had another play with the 3D printer and made these

 

 

 

 

 

 

after that i made a start on the wiring loom etc..

Looking good.

What are you doing for ventilation in the cabin having played the bulkhead?

I'm wanting to use the vent holes for speakers in mine so was wondering about options.

To be completely honest my last couple of minis have all had the vent holes plated, and it never seemed to be an issue for me. As this will only be driven on dry days worst comes to worst il roll the window down :)

A few more parts have been bolted on to the mini today.

 

 

first up was to unpackage all the boxes 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I started fitting the new coil springs 

 

 

 

 

next up was putting the drive shafts through the subframe ready for the hubs 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

in-between fitting these parts i was stripping the hubs and giving them a paint 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The part of the hub still bare steel will be brushed painted when on the car, its not going to be seen so..

Coming on well sir

Brace yourself for abuse for using springs.   
 

I got a set of Minitastic ones on our. Sportpack and love them.   Slight bit more body roll though.

Aye for sure not everyone’s cup of tea!

I had these Ones fitted to my last mini and never had any issues, so hoping I shouldn’t have any problems this time round. Worst case they are easy to change right?

Very nice!  Big step and the build is looking amazing.  Love the colour of the powder coated suspension.

Would you be willing to share the cad file for the blank? I could really do with one on mine!
