Small update.

Oh... forgot the dammed camara, i'll take one next time....

Because of shift patterns haven't got a lot done over the weekend, except more rubbing down.

on the plus side i picked up a pair of brand new adjustable lower arms and Hi-Lo for a snip.

My mate brought his girlfriend (Becky) mini round today to change the rear subframe, as Carl and Sam started to strip out the subby i got busy building up the front subby for the shortie, didn't get far as the lads had a few issues, no one owned up to breaking the subframe front mounting bolt (my money is on Sam) but after a bit of heat and loads of WD40 soon had that sorted out, but between us all we got the new one in (Carl loves Smiffy Bits, loads of stainless nuts and bolts everywhere)

This is what i managed to get done

Doughnuts and adjustable tie bars from Sam, Cheers mate

Hi-Lo's, adjustable bottom arms and loads of poly bushes

What do you think

Update, not much as hoped for but late last night managed to remove the old front subframe and install the new one with all the goodies fitted, idea being to get the mini as low as possible to enable the trimming of the front wings and the fitting of the front wheel arch front Hi-Lo wound right back
