Already at £260, if I can do it all for £350 I'll be happy. Sounds expensive, but there are a lot of parts there & it'd be a big chunk done.

Have some doubt you can fit an mk5 into that kind of challenge, your mini isnt enough old..
By the way you getting it serious, good luck with the rebuilt!

[analogue_radio]

Oh I know, but the period style look

[analogue_radio]

That's almost all of this terms overdraft used!

Got parts coming from Minispares, Moss & Minimail.

That's everything for the rear subframe, right down to wheel caps.

I just hope everything I've ordered is in stock

[KEV@POWARTEK]

looking great. Im going to remove the studs from my pedal box bracket and put new ones in as mine were destroyed when removing servo.

keep up the good work and keep the pics coming.

[analogue_radio]

Thanks, how are they removed and replaced?

Really looking forward to this order arriving at home, hopefully going home for a few weekends after each other in a few weeks time. Girlfriend is getting back from Aus & It's my Mums birthday, I'll sneak some Sundays in on the mini
