Wheels look too narrow for the arches to be honest Jon!

[leaky]

Yea I was gonna fill them out more if I fitted those arches. Will have a play about. Need some spacerd drums but with the MOT coming up, Needing to do those panels and sorting out getting my red mini painted I just dont really have the money at the mo. Also looking at renting out a unit with some mates so will need to pay for that too!

[leaky]

Update time. Mate has cut out the over sill. As thought it was just placed over the old one hence it rotting so bad. Will also be getting the A panel done at the same time as it was going at the bottom and cutting it off makes doing the A panel a million times easyer. He said he will sort out some pics for me.

Well picked her up from my mates farm last night. Here shes is.



I think the black A panel looks kinda cool ha!

Anyway MOT day today o yay!

[scotty_1987]

I hope the MOT went well!? and Alice is roadworthy for another year?

[leaky]

Needs 2 bearings, hand brake adjusting, drives seat needs securing and a ball joint gator o and a small patch on the passenger floor pan. Still road legal till the 7th as that's when the old one runs out. Will crack in with things ASAP. Seeing as its done a stupid amount of miles in the last year I think the old girl did good!

[Jasonc]

That's not too bad whatsoever, I've seen worse on new cars!

[leaky]

Well the last few bits of welding were done yesterday and the hand brake has been sorted. I'm off to London for a few days but will get the wheels bearings and the few other small bits done when I'v back. Massive thanks to my mate Will for doing the welding.

[leaky]

Local motor factors only had one wheel bearing in stock. So bought that came home and with the use of a mates garage got one side done. Have now picked up another for the other side. So that will be done 2moz night! Then just the steering rack gator. Should hopfully have it MOTed by next weekend!

[leaky]

MOT passed woop!

[Sam]

[Jasonc]

Yep. Still have some bits that need doing and need to give it a tune as its going through fuel like its going out of fashion.

Anyway. Now its MOT'ed I'm going to start buying parts for her rebuild over next winter.

Short list is.

Front panel
Drivers side wing
Passenger side A panel, Sill and Door step
Rear panel
Rear bumper
New rear subframe
New door cards
New seats
New set of arches
New set of wheel (Fancy some force splits)
A few parts for the new engine currently a work in progress in my garage.

Of course this will be made longer as things start to happen.
