Guys - After 2 years of owning this Rover works mini ( my 6 in total over 12 years ) I have finally finished her. She`s a works model built for the Japanese market and as as result, was always in very solid condition. It has never been off the road and never needed to be. I have replaced the scuttle panel and rear valance and cut the paint back several times and then polished it with MER and it came up looking as good as ever. Thats all the body work she needed. I also replaced the Dampers to Spax adjustables and the car was already fitted with Hilows but they are still to high on the rear ( how do I lower these ?? ) Topping her off are 12x6 Superlights with Yokohama A08Rs Semi slicks. Thanks to Pauly on this forum for helping me choose wheels with his super nice blue mini with the same set up. My Works Mini has the standard works setup ( 80 Hp ) and I fitted a RC40 DTM SS set up from the manafold as I dont need the cat to stay legal ! It KICKS ass in everyway and the graphics have now been replaced thanks to Sticky Fingers here ! ( not fitted yet in the video but they were VERY easy to fit ) Great job by the way.

Check out the Video on You tbe and there are some in car stuff too.

Thanks Guys for your Help.
Garth

That's looking very tidy, good job mate! What's the interior like, did I spy some non standard seats?

No mate, Just the standard later model leather seats. Still looking for a brushed alloy dash to suit but have almost given up.
