is that the one from azy-whatchamacallhim? he was selling on ebay?

I asked for these to be custom made from TDK so i beleive there are only 2 of us with these so far!, downside is i have to laquer them myself which isnt a problem, but i didnt pay anywhere near £200 for it which was half of what the ones on ebay were reserved at although they were absolutly spotless/mint to be fair.

Weathers being a loser so no updates today im afraid, may be able to pop out later but its peeeing it down at the mo

Hey ben, iv got the same conversion on my mini but i cheated by buying it already completed, but just a quick question, what radiator are you planning on using? (from what car etc) because mine has recently split and i managed to have it repaired but could do with getting a new one but no one seems to know what its from.... I went the a radiator "specialist" and they said they didnt know what it was from either.... so i was just wondering what radiator your going to use...?? Thanks abd good luck with the build!

Mini-bore- going to use and mpi rad i think, not sure yet as i might even use a thin suzuki swift one as there pretty tiny and my mates vvc runs one with an extra fan and it works a treat.

For eveyone else, projects still going on in the backround...
Weather has been a pain as usual and progress has been super slow while i collect parts. Iv done alot of bodywork but il update once its finished as its pretty boring at the minute.

TDK have done me a new rear carbon bumper and over-riders as he wanted the other one back , the new ones even better quality wise.

Also picked up a set of carbon exposed weave miglia arches too:)

Basically this is what has been done-

rear quarters - old arch holes welded up and whole quarter panels primered up
rear suspension - dropped so its now sitting 1 inch above tyre
Fuelling - Flexi hose fitted from tank to filler neck hole
Rear valnce - Fibre rear valance fitted and painted
Back end - Primered up and all welding work finished

Will update with pictures soon

Ben
