Can't mate! my girlfriend is here back from australia! plus I need to order some more bits, rebuild kits for the hubs, nuts & bolts

[AndrewJ530]

Looking good mate.

Pair of reconditioned radius arms ordered from Min-its, at a horrible sounding figure of £166. £100 of which is refundable after I send my pair of arms back. They should be arriving on Monday, but I won't be home for a good few weekends now.

Hey chap, how much did your welder set you back, have you managed to have a wee go yet?

[analogue_radio]

My Dad picked it up from the bay, I've no idea how much it cost. We've both had a little test, but I've been busy ever since I left for Uni & Dad has been busy with painting the outside of the house and the million other jobs Dads do.

I'm hoping when I next go home for a weekend I can practice, we will use some steel off cuts he picked up from the local garage.

Dad sent me through these photos, I can't wait to get home!









They look fantastic

Looking good, Bright and shiny. Cant wait for this to get back on the road !!
Top work !

Me neither, the thing I'm looking forward too most is keeping her clean & well serviced, greasing things, tweaking bits and bobs. What she deserves after years and years of being kept outside in all weather conditions

Now I can see what nuts & bolts came with the radius arms, I can put another order in from Minispares and get all the final assembly fixtures.

very nice project mate, can i just say i have GB alloys too, they finish the car off lovely!

Good purchase, I did wonder why you bought the refurb kits when for a bit more you can them lovely ones. Think I'll have to sort out mine soon but the others are attached to the mini at the bodyshop. How does the exchange work with min-its?

[analogue_radio]

I wanted to save myself a bit of cash and do them myself, but yeah it's more hassle and I didn't realise the work that needed doing to fit the new refurb kits.

Well I ordered a pair, for a total of £166, £100 is surcharge so when I sent my pair back I'll get that refunded. And they came within a few days, which is brilliant, then yeah you send your pair back.. they said send them back bare, lucky for me because I lost so many little bits whilst taking them off the subby.

I'm anxious to find out how much postage will be sending them back.. they weigh a lot to be delivered.
