so far with the rear seats recovered (thankyou sunshine ), the front hubs back together, with new drive flanges, center console fitted, plus front carpet.
i am now in the process of rubbing down my C**p sprayjob, so i can get it done properlly( i know should have had it done that way first) but i did want to do as much as i could myself, just to say ok it's not perfect, but hey i did it myself. now i don't mind, letting someone else do a better job than me.
when she is back from the garage i will post more pics. :wales:

if you dont mind me asking, how much is the spray job gonna cost? and are you prepping it yourself?

Good Luck

i'm preparing the car myself, i've spoken to the guy who is going to be spraying her, and he said to leave the doors off. so i'm going to get them ready, rub down the runs, from the spray job i did, and a few other bits that need redoing, then put it on a trailer and take it for spraying.
will cost about £200-£300 i think, he will tell me when i take the mini over.

those nice air hons you have , i was going to pick some up, but didnt, A because i ran out of money B because i didnt no where to fit them lol

you got a good point there mark, airhorns are awesome!!!!!!

i am thinking of putting them on the right hand inner wing just above the starter solenoid, i will have to remove the intake vent to do this, or i will have to make a bracket, still don't know, but i will post a pic when done.....

You should have more than enough space in engine bay. On near side towards the front of the car. Just put a bracket on the inner wing. That's where mine are going. Although I could put them anywhere really, considering I don't have an engine in there.
