Bit about the car and that.
I bought the mini when I was 16 years old for my first car. I learnt to drive in it. After passing my test I used the mini every day to go to work etc. About year down the line I crashed it round a bend at night on some mud. I manged to drive it home with some help from a friend. The body kit was hanging all off so I decided to take it off road and sort it. 5 years later it was back on the road with a new engine 1330cc A+ which made 90bhp at the wheels. Much faster theb the standard 998cc engine. Car went though alot off mods in the 5 years it was off the road. New suspension bigger alloy brakes. New 7x13 wheels. Full rollcage. New dash and a big sound system. In the next 5 years I took it off the road each winter and changed and improved bits n bobs to where it is today. It's off the road now as I am putting new back end on. Rear beam alloy arms kad discs and rear diffuser.

Awesome mini, going for a bit more weight saving this winter then!
Rear diffusers are cool are you for going for a fibreglass or carbon boot floor at same time?

[superteddyeddy]

Thanks very much. So many mods. Take me some time to post about them all but I am sure I get there.

Yes this winter I been working on the back end off my car. I tub the rear archies so can lower more. Fitting a tdk racing rear beam with alloy arms and kad rear discs. Protec coilovers. I have already got a fibre glass boot floor. The rear diffuser is made and out off alloy.

Nice work,
Love those solid alloy rear arms, matches the paint!
Have some of these parts in my wishlists currently, will keep an eye on this thread,

[superteddyeddy]

Been busy this weekend tubbing my rear archies. Not the easiest job I have done because off the bodykit. Pooing me pants that the bodykit fibre glass may catch fire. Also made a brace bar up in the boot. Just got to add two plates to bar to bolt though rear bulk head. Should make it bit stronger now I am runing a rear beam.

One of the best bodykitted minis I've seen Ted.

[superteddyeddy]

Just finished welding up the rear tub archies and all sealed. Next job is to finish cleaning the floor pan ready to stone chip it.

Next big job will be sorting out my exshaust which will be coming out the side off the car. I got my self some 4" pipe to make a tonal out off which my 2" exhaust pipe with fit in. I take some pictures on weekend to show what I mean.

[superteddyeddy]

Did a bit off work yestday on my exshaust. Cut the holes and pipe for the new exshaust tunnel which is made out off 4" pipe. I be running 2" stainless inside for exshaust. Cut the hole for tail pipe/tip and very happy how it come out. Just nees to order some carbon fibre to go around the tip and bodykit to protect it bit more.

Holy smoke, that exhaust will get super hot!

That's is a 4" pipe with a 2" exhaust pipe in side which I will wrap it to keep heat down. If the 4" pipe gets to hot then I just get exshaust coated.
