Got my old Punto seats fitted.  Super swanky and verrry comfy! :D

get more pics on!

 

 

They're out of a MK2 Punto Go.  They definitely improve the ride of the car with all the built in suspension and access to the rear is easier though they do add a fair bit of weight! Not sure what pics you want?  I can, erm, bend them over? :-)

 

fixing brackets etc. and a frontal shot from outside the windscreen

 

 

The engineering isn't up to photo-worthiness yet (i.e. a bit bodgy!). I'll post a pic or two when we get it sorted.

Attempted to fit a KAD quick stick copy from Midland Wheels. Cheap enough but not a chance of getting it to work properly. Decided to remove it and went back to the original stick and put a little grease in the socket. Seems better than before. Gonna get one of those bias slick shift things from Minispares next.

A 1999 Alfa Romeo, hence the badge. I believe they are from a 156/157. Either way it was a 5 door car so they don't recline. They're Momo seats.

started getting my scuttle repair in place, ready to be tacked/welded in tomorrow, and made a lip for the wing to fit to the scuttle.

And cleaned the new "comfortable" passenger seat.

Used my mini in a daring escape from Asda today. I was actually contemplating quitting today just so I could get out of there. (I have a better job so I honestly couldn't care less) I used my time to plan it all out. I would go to the front desk, and say 'ATTENTION ALL SHOPPERS...I quit, I quit.' Then walk off in a blaze of glory and stuff like that.

Instead this seemed like the better option. I had to sneak past my line manager on one wide open aisle, and then past the office despite the door being open. Luckily, being Asda, there was nobody in the office watching all the locals of Maybury(stan) stealing half of the stock, which made it much easier. Once past the office door without detection, I made a break for the exit to the rear of the store. I slithered into the mini and drove off in a spirited manner. As I drove past the loading bay there were two people standing there watching me escape. One was cheering as if to say, by jove - he's done it! The other person was my line manager. I would love to say that he chased me like one of the crazies from Indiana Jones, but instead he just looked on as I drove off on my merry way.

^^^ Love it Stiggy! Possibly the best car to do a sinister escape in :P

Well today I came home to my Mini exactly as I left it 3 weeks ago. Under its cover all cable tied down. Now I have to spend some money and get through my to do list :D

Cam.

Fitted rear alfa seats, screwed on my rear number plate to stop it flapping, cut more holes in the orange one and cleaned out the companion bins.

Fitted my stub stack:

The carb needs a bit of setting up but it definitely gives out a more refined intake roar :D
