So then, it's been a month since the last update and i'm glad to say the mini is now on the road and running great! I took it for it's MOT on Tuesday and it passed first time with no advisories which was good. I've done about 60 miles in it so far and the power it has is brilliant from about 2.5k rpm to the 5k rpm rev limit. I've really enjoyed driving it round so far, there are a few small amendments to make to it but on the whole it has been a huge success. It needs an auxillary electric fan fitting, another trip to the body shop for some attention and a rolling road tune at some point. Looking forward to taking it to a few shows this summer, hoping to take it to MITP in August

Here are a few completed shots of it:

Thanks for the comments guys, much appreciated

I've not driven it for a couple of days now because of the non stop rain we've been getting. Can't wait to get it out again once it brightens up a bit!

Very nice. Love the stance. Definately something to be proud of.

by the way, how much did you drop it by?

Thanks guys. In the pics above, the ride height is pretty much as low as it can go. I have raised it up a bit since then as the tyres were rubbing on the arches over bumps.
