Looks AMAZING Josh

cheers buddy

on friday i thought i would start putting the interior back in so started of by covering the back seat in carpet which actually turned out really good. also relayed and glue floor carpet.

then today well it started off by looking for my locking wheel nut key thing. which in the end i didnt find and had to bang a 16mm multi socket on to get them all off. i started on the back by taking all old shocks off and then before i put new on i stone chipped the arches. then fitted new shocks that didnt take too long really then moved onto the front and that took well lets just say alot longer i had trouble getting the pin out of the passenger bottom arm then the 2 rubber bushes off. i got them off eventually.then i stoned chiped the front wings then fitted new shock then did the new ned bottom arms and tierods took me all in all about 4-5 hours but least there done i will post pictures up tomorrow as i did take them as i went along but the cameras memory was lost also tomorrow looking at putting seats in and harnesses and also centre console so yeh hes getting there.

cheers

Just came across your project thread. I'm quite impressed. You appear to be doing a real proper job of the mini.
