Pushed on with the front subframe so both are now fitted which will allow all of the suspension/brakes etc to be installed so plenty to go at now..

Thanks..hopefully by March it should be well on the way..slow and steady doing a bit most days helps and the fact most of the bits are ready to bolt on .. :-)

Hopefully over Christmas plan is to finish the suspension/ brake assemblies and crack on with building the rest of engine ancillaries...

Yes they fit the standard mini rubber shroud no mods needed..just fit amber bulbs to avoid mot issues..I somehow have odd lenses one is more frosted so need to sort that and my headlamp rings are beyond saving hence why they are missing...
