ive had this car for about a year now but after it sitting in the garage not getting alot done i desided to get the real mini company to get the shell done and painted so i can have the fun part of rebuilding it.

So far its had new rear quaters new door skins and some other bits welded up. while the car has been at Dans it has given me time to get other bits sorted such as interior, wheels, arches, and all the seals and new brightwork etc it will be a slow rebuild though as between work a wife and 3 kids i dont seem to have much time lol.

the engine will be a blow threw supercharged 1330 with a stage 2 head and straight cut gearbox not sure what the power will be but just wanted to do something a little differant than the suck threw kit, as far as im a ware there is only 1 car that already has the kit on and the other will be jameswildcooper car which is being used to to make the kit again as the first was a one off.

The interior has been designed by me and made by Andy at optimise Automotive there wont be a back seat.

Wheels are force racing mini special split rims i will be running cooper 7.5 brake setup. the subframes have been powdercoated and are waiting for me to build the so that i can drop them off at the real mini company so the car can be mock built to make sure the arches can be trimmed to fit, i have gone for exsposed weave carbon fibre miglia arches and bumpers as well as a carbon rear valence. the front end is a 2 peace carbon kevlar front (which has been a nightmare to fit as the mould was very bad).the car will also have a full cage and will end up blue with a black roof.

enough talking i will add a link to the real mini compays restoration page and some pics that i have enjoy.

Well doesn't look like I will be building the frames up today as the weather is rubbish and the wife didn't like the idea of me building them in the lounge.
