thanks for the cool coments guys :D really cant wait to get him back on the road properly.been out working on him allday again today.one of my jobs was to swap the gaz coilovers back over to my old spax ones.the spax seem to be a lot sturdier and stiffer so im hoping that will stop the bounce on the back end.will give it a test tomorow when ive sorted the gear linkage out.Dean.

the spax coilovers totally transformed the ride.first and last time i will ever use gaz coilovers.might be worth me getting in contact with huddersfield mini spares to let them know what a crap ride the gaz are with a rear beam :thumbsup:

It really is, phone them up, if they tell you no, I'll.. (well as they wont I dont have to pretend I have a cat which I would then have to eat).


Even if its not a cover car (which VINI deserves to be), its still worth it.

Bloooomin eck thats quite different to how I last saw it dean! How've you been fella? New colour looks the balls, and those wheels look even better under the thinner arches. Your exhaust manifold looks like some strange creature's bandaged claw lol :thumbsup: I'll second the comment about the mirrors, the car has a much more retro look now, I think it would suit these:
Tasty
I'm thinking of buying a set, trying them on the sportspack and if I dont like them I'll give them to amy as a present lol.
