O and heres a pic of the hub.



Then heres proof we were out working in the rain.

that flat spot looks a tad off:/

Right some good news. The new hub, flange and caliper are on and every things back together I now just need to bleed the brakes. Never done this before so it will be a learning curve. Also fixed some dodgy wiring on the number plate light so things are starting to look up. So hopefully as long as I can find a helping hand to bleed the brakes the car should be back on the road for 2moz. Yay.

Right well every things back together and the brakes are bled but its still doesn't want to move. I'm starting to think theirs something wrong with the gearbox again now. Anyway I'm fed up of it, I'm going to put it in a garage and get them to sort it as I just want to drive it again now. Its nearly a month since it broke and its another month I'v spent on insurance where the cars not been used.

Anyway while I had the wheels off to bleed the brakes I fitted one of my wellers to the back too see what they looked like.



I think it looks quite nice. Not sure if I'll put them on though. I quite like the dish of the revos.

Right I bought a few bits of the clubby today at Bingley so thought I'd put some pics up.

I bought some of the proper swinging handles for the door. Sir Cheat will be pleased lol.



One of those left side rear lenses are also for the clubby. I have a load of good right hand one but all my left side ones were poo.

I also got a clubby rear bumper as I have a normal round one on it at the moment and a speaker board for under the rear seat.



I'm undecided weather or not I should sticker bomb it or leave it how it is.

I also got some goodies from roofless.



A mat for the boot.



A weather shield and all the brackets.



Thats about it. I'm gonna have a crack at fitting some of the bits 2moz and I'll get some pics up.

Thanks.

My down & out sticker on.



I sticker bombed the speaker bored and fitted it.



And I fitted my weather shield. Although as my dad said afterwards that was stupid as the engine has too come out anyway lol.

I think they might be my old wheels, where did you get them from?

Naa their not your old wheels mate. They came off an old mini local to me. I'v known the last 3 owners of now.

Here they are about 3-4 years ago.



I want to paint them white again. I think they look so cool.

Cheers mate. Its not too bad. Needs a bit of tidying in places.

[leaky]

One last update for today. My mini guy went up to mini speed and picked these up for me today.

Should help me along with fixing the car.



Now time to start stripping the mini so I can get it all done.

[leaky]

This is something else I'v been doing over the lat few days. I want Mk2 lights on this as they just look better in every single way lol. Anyway I decided to be a bit different and get some red lens paint and have completely red lenses.




Not sure how legal they are as of yet but I'm hoping if I put a yellow bulb in their then I should get away with it.
