well here it is, this is the 4th mini that has passed my way, got it from gloucester last saturday, see my signature for details of the spec. Before you say, yes i know it needs the paint sorting out, but its not on my list of prioritys at the moment.

Started building it up today, got the shocks on and sorted out the fuel tank/lines.

Jobs for tomorrow include fitting my 4-pot calipers and metro hubs and sorting out the massive ball of wires that is the electrics.

heres some pics to feast your eyes on:

i know the discs and pads are shot to bits, thats due to them being sat on my clubman in a field for about a month! new discs and EBC green stuff pads are on the way!
