Hi, I have now finished grinding the back end up neatly ready to trial fit the rear subframe assembly. I now need to assemble the front subframe and suspension to be able to roll the shell and lift it over the roll cage. I answer to the previous question, yes the fuel tank does go in the front, i will post pics as i assemble the front and everything will become clear.
I did'nt see any point i posting any pics as i doesnt look a lot different except all the edges are smooth an straight and the floor profile is now bob on (I hope!!! )

I will keep you up to date as the build goes on.......

How far are you going with the front suspension? Coilovers etc or a failry standard Mini set-up?

But the steel subframes supplied must go as they weigh more than the seats......

Im doing my own adjustable bottom arms as what you pay is stupid when i can make my own from the std. arms i already have. They will all go in the powder coated subframe i had done at z-cars.......

Cheers Mark

You're making good progress there Mark, those seat subbys look cool! :grin:

[markrally]

Ive also had a few pm's and e-mails about the new steel subframes i have removed.
I want £20 for the 2 sets and the hole centres are approximately 290 mm but there is a bit of leeway as the holes are slotted.
Postage to mainland britain would be £10
Paypal would be preferred.

e-mail me on my link below if any of you want them???

what harnesses are you using in it matey? Just noticed that the side hole in the seat is a bit blocked by the subframe. Or is that yet to be tweaked?
