Excuse my stupidity but what are they , they look great.

[steveobennet]

oops! forgot to mention they are door cards. for now i think carbon wing mirrors and door cards are enough for me, but in the far future i might get some carbon arches. don't want to go too over the top with this wonderous stuff!

been a while since i updated this, again! so made some new bottom bracket for my front coilovers. give me more room between the shock and body and has lowered the car slightly.



both door cards fitted. bit of trimming and they went straight on, i will be changing my door furniture though as it is currently looking worse for ware.



had to buy a new set of headlight due to accidently breaking one! doh also took off my alloys to keep them in good nick while the car is still off the road.



finally got my boot back from the bodyshop. sent it back because it had bubbled around the edges, only took them 7 weeks to sort it . mind you it was gathering dust for 6 weeks.





also have started to strip the gearbox. everything is being cleaned, will get a re-furb kit from minispares and build it back up soon!

Looking fantastic, good luck on getting it finished. Cant wait to see it!

Your car is looking ace! Cant wait to see it at a few shows next year! Thumbs up for the effort so far though!!!

Have you got some more pictures of the front brackets you made to go with the coilovers? As I think I'm going to have the same problem, so wondering how you overcame this!!!

Thanks, and good luck finishing her! Andy

[steveobennet]

cheers! will get some pics up of the brackets i made this weekend.

[steveobennet]

as requested







now when i made these brackets i made the at a 90 degree angle, but the minispares one i obtained were at a slight angle to the front of the car. it hasn't cause any problems but i'm just giving you some fore-warning.

love this project

looking great man, keep up good work!!

[MiniDude]

Thanks for the pictures of the coilover brackets, thats a great help!

[Mini Beth]

Looks well nice and love the colour!!!

[Mincento]

Love it and see your already using the farecla and autoglym on it and its not even on the road yet

front brackets look very proffesional, what exactly do you do for a job? only bad thing i have noticed it the front shocks look to be at the bootom of the adjustment threads? yet it doesnt actually look to be that low?

good luck with it
