thank you for the nice comments
was nt done well unfortunatly im 50/50 about the vent as its basically falling off lol so either way ive got to either take it off and put it back on or smooth the hole over
i do like body kitted minis 2 but ..... not to keen on this kit as its a bit big lol but it should be half ok looking when its done:)

[minisam92]

1st thing we did was try to get the mini running as the guy said it was a runner and a great engine etc etc
any way when we put a battery on it would turn over but at a snails pace so changed battery and it was still the same
also changed the petrol as it was near on a yellow colour
eventally remved the clutch bell housing and the flywheel basically fell off lol so yh we found the running problem anyway
it now runs to an extent but whilst we were setting it up vac advace got broke on the dissy so it also needs a new 1 of them :@

other bits ive done so far are
wiring for centre clock and new clock
removed the wierd metal plates
removed seat extender brackets as they make you sit wierd :S
fitted new driveshaft oil seals
fitted landrover battery
door check straps
and got it runnig ish lol
welded a small patch

some bits arrived today some nice panels to repair the lights and a 5 switch switch panel off classic mini bits on here quite cheap and quick delivery
any way today removed the stupidly thick filler that was holding the round lights in and found the holes are worse than first thought but not too bad
in other news fitted switch panel in and going to fit my outer c.v boot and the hopefully fit my steering rack gator

[minisam92]

woop fitted both steering rack boots (no point only doing 1 and had 2 new ones anyway) and topped it up with grease also fitted my c.v boots 1 inner and 1 outer (on different shafts) took all the filler off the back light area if i get some time this week end hopefully ill get the rear light panels cut to size and fitted so all in all not a bad hour or two tonight
