Sorry for the massive lack of updates but there has been nothing to show really as the majority of work has been electrical.

Pretty much finished the car now so will get some photos up when its done and its MOT time

Looking forward to the finished article mate.

My mini almost bottomed out on the break rollers at the MOT, had to remove the front number plate for clearance :|

A long over due update.

The car is now 99% finished with just some very small things left to do. I have ordered a colour tune to get the mixture spot on.

Hoping to get it MOT'd and finally on the road after 9 years of being SORN.

 

Fitted the bonnet for the last time -

Fitted the weather shield -

Gave her a wash as she was getting dusty. SNOW FOAM TIME :D -

One thing i would also say is. 'Gtechniq' is bleeding amazing stuff ( Buy it all ) -

Hope you all like the ( Almost ) finished product.

Been very busy recently so havnt had much chance to update but I come with good news
MOT is booked for this Saturday, I'm fairly confident it will fail on things such as emissions and headlight aim etc but with any luck it will be on the road this weekend.
I will update again on Saturday.

Car failed on exactly what I thought it would. Headlight aim and emissions.
It's going back on Tuesday to have these done and the tracking
