Would love to have them seats, but don't think they would fit my ample frame, nice project.

[MJWarren]

You can get them wider framed!

car is being sprayed next week so should hopefully have it back soon!

looking great lad the carbon bonnet would look far better likle you said

what colour you go for

[MJWarren]

Yeah i think its worth the extra money really. saves getting it sprayed up aswell.

Gone for a colour called Royal mini grey, it a colour off the new minis.

finished off painting my rollcage too, ill try and get some pictures up

Im loveing this thread, First time ive posted in it, Im kinda waiting to see the engine build. Been thinking about a 16v conversion. Or maybe a 1330 turbo. But thats for the future, Im enjoying my 1380 at the moment. Good luck with the build and keep up the good work.

is it the same colour as the park lane edition ones?

[MJWarren]

Ill be picking up the engine in about 5 weeks, ill post pictures on the build and the full spec when it arrives. Got to take the gearbox down at some point.

Not sure if that colour was used on them edition ones or not jayme im sorry ill try and find out.

Hopefully thell be a lot more to look at soon.
