Hi folks some of you my know the sheriff and the general Lee from the show and runs they been on together.



And some of you may know my clubman



Well the time had come to sell the clubman and get on with the next project. A deal was made I get the sheriff and to keep a few big parts of the clubman ( engine, wheels, brakes , seat ) and the chap get a shell basically.

So what's the plan build it to how I want use on the riv run then sell it on

So the plan for the car is as follows

Flat boot floor
Cut dtm exhaust coming through the rear valance
Gunmetal gray sort of colour with pink detail
Colour coded bumpers
Colour coded and drilled handles
My zs number plate housing
13x8 wellers


So far the boot has been done, the rear valance has been replaced and cut for exhaust. The exhaust has had its first cut just wait to get it machine cut now. Roof has been cut off awaiting replacement to be put on.

always loved your old clubman and remember checking it over at Castle Combe once, look forward to your updates on the new build now

[pinkmini99]

Hi folks got the roof cut off and the replacement one to fit today now to clean up and weld it on

[pinkmini99]

A few weeks has passed and progress is happening. After the roof was welded on I sound deaded the unside of the roof no more tinny sound . Also managed to get the front subframe out and the engine bay painted up. Well that all for now

[pinkmini99]

Well today I coloured up the inside and had a little mock up
Of the colour scheme on the out side. Wasn't going to clearcoat the out side but mixed to much up so gave it a go too.



As you can see my impression came from the jap cars like this one



Just don't know weather to do the roof and doors or just the doors or not at all.

I managed to pick up some bits from bingley like gaz shocks for a £10 yes a £10 for four look shitty but seam to work ok and some other bit I'm keeping a secret for now

[pinkmini99]

Well got the engine back in and back on its wheels
Painted the inside of the car and got most of the interior back in.
Picked up a 16v bonnet and a bobtail spoiler. So I think the only thing I need to get is a front spoiler to finish the parts list for the bodywork side

[pinkmini99]

Hi folks didn't do much this week. I'm at a point where I need to decide what arechs I want to run. So had a little moc up.

[megamini_jb]

The blue ones look awesome.

[Northernpower]

Really like the look of the white ones.

[Jared Mk3]

If you're doing the boot spoiler, then I'd go with the blue set. If not, then the white set.

Miglia arches ftw

[pinkmini99]

I think I'm going to go with the miglia's on the front and make my own for the rear well have a go at them. Mainly because I two miglia for each rear wheel as I want a full cover wheel. Hopefully will end up with somethink like this



Will put the same dimples in the front if I go that way with the fixings.

Just a chin spoiler to sort now. Think I'm going to go for a 60's style one instead of the Melean one. Then that's the bodywork parts all sorted

[pinkmini99]

Hi folks got my exhaust back from a mate yesterday. Looks and sit where a want it now. Also got to make a start on my gearknob.







Also here a picture of my boot floor now it's been welded up and painted and now covered in dust

The best shifter in the world - probably
