Did you get this all as a job lot dan-21 ?  That’s some very bold looking subframes you have there. Looks like you should have ur self a real weapon by the time you finish tho.

Welcome to the forum and mini ownership :D

If you make a Photobucket account, you'll be able to post up bigger pictures. Once they're uploaded onto Photobucket just copy the IMG code and paste it here

it has really thers a little bit of welding that needs doing but only a small bit the hardest part will be puting it back together everything is mixed up in the boxes and its allways easyer when your the 1 that has took it apart but it should be fine  :proud:

I had the same problem, having never taken it apart, it was pretty much trial and error when putting it back together in what order and finding the right bits. you have a slightly taller order on your hands than i did.

it is going to be the hardest bit i think and with abit of guess work and going through every page in the manual i should be ok i hope lol
