[Tomf]

[Tomf]

I just won some corbeau bucket seats on ebay that come on mini sub frames, for the absolute bargain price of £43.50

And they are unused but were brought a while back and have just been stored

I cant belive how much of a bargain i got if they didnt have the subframes i would still think the price was cheap, but with the mini frames what a bonus lol

I RECIVED THE WEBASTO SUNROOF TODAY AND ITS ABSOLUTELY MINT CONDITION

Now all iv got do do is work out how to fit it and try to keep my headlining in tact so i can mod it to fit the webasto sunroof Well at least i wouldn't be fitting a whole new headlining that way.

[miniboo]

Speak to Steve Blacker or look in his thread as he fitted one to his car

[Tomf]

Thanks ill just go and have a hunt now.

[Tomf]

Here are a couple of pics of it.

Ahh the infamous sunroof you've been raving about! Looks good

[Tomf]

Well i finally got to do some work on the mini, i mounted the front end on the hinges, but when the front is in place the edge of the wing doesnt line up with the a-pannels.... Could this be a problem with how i have mounted the hinges? If i dropped the front down a bit would this sort out my problem or would this just ruin the way the front is mounted?

very smart tom comming along nice

[Tomf]

Well first off i chopped a big hole in my roof today, lol but iv still got a bit of trimming to do to get the sunroof to fit how i want it to. Ill try and get out and do this later. and ill try and take some pics.

Also tomsbluemini came round and we changes his knuckles, and i finally got round to fitting the front hi-lows that i got from the one and only minimadme i told you i will fit them one day lol
