Another quick update with the mini as im almost there now.

The pictures are taken as we are picking it up from having the suspension set up, engine was looked at but its going to have to go back to be sorted properly.

Its having a few final touch ups on the paint this week.






Let me know what you think.

Cheers

Jon

Can I ask what arches they are and where you got them from? They look absolutely perfect with those wheels.

Your whole car is gorgeous.

just gone through this whole thread...looks like you put ALOT of work into this little beast

turned out great too

love it!!

The arches are group 5's, got them from Tupman's Minis in Devon, but i am sure he gets most of his parts through minispares.

Might be worth trying there.

I really like them also, glad i went with body colour ones as apposed to a different colour now.

Thanks for the comments guys,

Definately not a mini engined project but thought i share with everyone my new toy.

Got it insured today and my god this thing goes.





Its a little project compared to the mini, going to add:

Small indicators
Paint bellypan
Nice new stubby exhaust

Lets hope the mini can keep up with this!!

Latest update:

Picked up the mini from the bodyshop on Friday and have been working most of the day doing some of the finishing touches, the front arches need sorting as one has developed a crack and they dont look the same, other than that I love how it has turned out.

The next job I am getting done is getting it rolling roaded, I am going to get it booked in to Tipton's garage near sidmouth so in the next few weeks it should be on the road.

Let me know what you think, heres a few pictures.

Looks really good

[mini_mad69]

Just read your entire project, well done mate looks ace.

I bought a set of 6x12s from midland and there very nice, but how come yours came with sperlite centres.

Mine were rubbish midland ones.

[jonb_5]

Thanks for the comments guys.

I guess the wheel centres are just luck of the draw, i didnt ask for any inparticular.

Its booked in for the rolling road where the engine is going to be completely set up so next saturday i will have a power print out that i will put up for all to see.

Cheers
