ok thanks i have also replaced the track rod end bar as one came with the car and the one on the car was bent at like 45 degrees dont think it should be lol, it used to pull to the right so hopefully this wil sort it when it is tracked lol, also got all indicators working

[danny2009]

i have found out that my hazards dont work so i bought a new switch wich is in full working order but they still dont work so i have investigated further and found out that the flasher unit where the wires go in are corroded and i have been told that you cant get these any more so it looks like i am going to have to put some crimp connections on it and hope it works. any one experianced the same problem

[bamby]

looking good matey hopefully the new connectors should do the trick mine needs a whole new loom as i was stripping the front and half of it came to bits :S still yours looks good though.

[Junior Mini]

Have you tried DSN Classics for the connector???? there really helpful. nice little car you have there, sort of reminds of my first (but with less damage)

[danny2009]

[danny2009]

hmm i have got a new flasher unit and i have put sum crimp connections on as you can get the bottom bit that wires go into i have been told, the hazzards now work when they want to so i recon there is a bad eath anione know where it is earthed thanks, my unkle was supposed to come and pik the mini up last saturday but he didnt so he has got the sack lol so my mum knows someone who has worked on cars before and can weld so he is hired lol he is supposed to be coming up this week to make a start so, its not what you know who you know lol, i need to get them hazards working so earth plz people keep the comments coming thanks

[danny2009]

i have bought a new chrome bootlight not had time to fit it yet but ill fit it tmoz and get some piks up so you all can see thanks

[sweetser]

Looking good mate, any more updates?

Luke.

[danny2009]

not updated this for a while as not that much progress has been achevied ao here goes:

i have chromed up all the boot with hinges, boot light, handle
i have put chrome handles on and door scoops yet to be fitted
clear indicators all the way round, just waiting on the rears

i have also jacked the car up took all the wheels off and had a look around and to my horror have noticed that i have got a big gaping hole in the rear subby just under the cones near the jacking point so i have bought a second hand replacement. i have had a go at getting the old subby off but the bolts behing the radius arms dont want to budge. i dont really want to heat them up as there near the bushes so i am going to get some locktite freeze and release anyone ever used this and whats it like.

anyhow here are some piks of the rotten subby that is still on the car, is this too far gone or is it salvageable and weld it up
