They are lots of loverly bits, I think from memory that the rad was £140 + p&p

Had a good day today got the dash out of the more modern car and measured it and we've only go to trim it down width ways by about 3cm, not sure about how much weve got to trim between windscreen and cabin area but should look fantastic, also got roll pin out if the gear selector bit broke and mocked it up insidethe car so we no wereto drill hole for internal gear linkage. So all in all not a bad days work but no pics I'm afraid.

i had another box arrive today and a parcel!! i do love opening boxes and parcels!!!

the box was from CBS and had some small aquare front fog lights in it and 2 universal joints for the internal gear linkage and a high level brake light. it also had some DRL which i thought wouldnt be too big as it said that they would only have 5 LEDs hmm i was wrong (and i should of really read the spec before ordering never mind) but there 147mm wide lol but i will definalty use them possibly just below or above the numberplate (i wont to hide them if thats possible)

i also got a set of grey exterior handles for the doors and boot from fleebay for £5.99 including postage, theyve got some scratches but cant complain at that price

pics will follow

well over the last couple of days me and my dad have been stripping the underseal and paint from the underside of Vini getting ready to paint his belly with por15.

while we were stripping his belly it became apparent that not all of the holes (some of them little holes) had been welded as we didnt no they were there before, so not happy about that but thats the life of a mini lol

now for the pics (YOUVE ALLWAYS GOTTA HAVE PICS MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA)







thanks for looking

Good stuff dude, my mate is doing exactly the same thing with his Volvo 360 turbo, it's surprising what can hide underneath the old underseal, luckily, his 1984 metalwork is pristine under the old stuff apart from a few small patches.

I wish I was able to do the same and strip mine right back to bare metal and treat it again, bit far on with the project for that though

more pics of my gorgeous wheels!!!!!!!

what arches you're going to use with them? I'm sending my exactons to force racing soon but not to sure how wide to go Probably it will be 6 inches but I dont want very wide arches to cover them... and 5 inch rim seems to be not wide enough
