Been reading, sucks about the damage steve, must be gutting but ye, nice attitude to it, just get on with things

Engine looking sweet with turbo, hope it goes well for you

[MiniMadAdy]

looks really good mate i love it keep up good work#1

[steveobennet]

yet again the funds have ran dry so have been tidying up small bits on the shell. i have mounted one of the bonnet pins for the front but my cheap £2.99 pop rivet gun decieded to give way after 2 hard rivets! the aerocatch works well with holding the front down, and are certianly easier to latch on when securing the front end with the body. they may need a bit of adjustment to pull the front in.

[wilcooper]

it doesnt cost to pot pics steve! show me some

[steveobennet]

i'll find some random pics to take just for you this weekend.

[wilcooper]

[mad4mins]

[steveobennet]

heres a random image for you



best i can do till the weekend. it certianly was nerve racking. but both wings are getting resprayed now anyway.

[wilcooper]

Ahh thankyou steve, i am happy!! and they sure do look shagadelic!!!! how much were they?

[steveobennet]

in all for the whole setup (drive flanges, vented discs, calipers, ebc pads, braided hoses, and caliper spacers) it was something like £430, with my 5% discount of course.

[wilcooper]

Neat

[steveobennet]

some more pics for you will

firstly and aerial shot of the car, to show you where the tile hit



i have been sorting out several things this weekend, but mainly i have been sorting out how i will get the fuel from the tank to the front. 8mm copper fuel lines show do. my car won't be run stupidly low, so i see no danger in running them under the car.



and at the rear i have use a filter of a ford focus, should be up to the job.



the exhaust system is almost finished, just a mock up at the moment, also i have alter the pipe leading to the back box to bring it up more. one more thing, as unique as this is, it isn't my idea. i have seen it on a mini before, and i used the influence of the tvr sagaris. should be mounted properly next weekend

Phwoarrr!!

That exhaust! haha love it. So this car for the 2nd time in the flesh today, all is looking well! Keep going Stu

Sorry mate, but the exhaust spoils it. Minis are small and the exhaust looks out of proportion. Don't get me wrong, I think the your mini is mint, apart from this. Hide it and make folk think 'normal mini'. Lights (traffic), camera (Hopefuuly not the polis), bye bye..............................everyone else
