right, have had to resolve to fortnightly updates as the little jobs i have been doing weren't really worth posting about! fiberglass arches finally arrived, they were a little too used for my liking but thats what you get sometimes when buying off ebay! the pictures below show how it will sit and a buldge which i will have to get rid of!





not much left to do till i send it away to get sprayed! can't wait!

heard u are geting this sprayed very soon

dam! u found out! yep got everything i wanted to to done this weekend so am going to pop round again this sat for a quote.

what colours it gonna go?

rover tahiti blue with a white roof, heres a pic of the colour



unfortunately i don't have the funds to have the same engine! but the colour is like this

nice colour,keeps it looking like it shud.What engine is this hiving,what sorta power u gonna be lookin at,and what will it weigh?

And will it remain positive rear camber or u onna alter that?

right gonna get my engine from med, been told their the dogs dangalies, at their prices they should be! it'll be their trackday 1380, bullet proof - ish, they say its fine for everyday use but i'm going to phone them more near the time. they have had 115 bhp from this unit but i'm only expecting 100 as i'm running it on twin hs4 su's. the standard weight of the mini is around 700kg fully laden. since i've removed quite abit of weight i reckon it'll be around 650 - 600, not exactly sure but will get it weighted some time! that'll give me a car thats rapid to 90 which is all i need!

got a beam axle on the rear, which allows me to adjust the camber to what i want, and getting all adjustable front bits, but probabily gonna run 1.5 negative front and rear. can't adjust the toe on the rear though....................yet

saw this down in the body shop to shid be getting sprayed urly next week he said so did u chose a colour he had in there

not telling! going down next weekend to get some progress pics then when i get it back shall reveal all!

spent most of my weekend stripping the rollcage that i got from 2pac. tis only the front section and am on the look out for the rear if anyone sees one tell me! had a few colour ideas but decied to go with metalic purple. after it was stripped primered it. the did a base coat of black to darken the purple. sprayed the purple, just 1 coat. then finally 2 coats of laquer to bring the shine out. still need to polish it so its super - reflective!

when donw yesterday an saw this in the spray booth looking very nice

woo hoo! what they done! what they done! can't wait! why can't it be the weekend now! god i'm feeling like a little kid!

its done! went down today to pick up some bits and get some pics. has a few niggly bit here and there but all in all i am very pleased with it! once the car is up and running they said to take it back to them to get it flattened and polished so it looks like glass! anyway heres a taster
