Hi everyone, amm this mini of mine has gone through a few changes since I have bought the car. I initially bought the car about a year and a half for my first car, just tidy the car up and get it running but as ye may have seen in the I have changed my mind!
After my first taught I then changed my mind and decided to make it a road racer. I had my engine bored to 1380 and had a few bits and pieces bought. Now since I have taken a year out to get money together I have taken inspiration from zcars. I'm going building something similar to what zcars produce but with a few modifications to the rear suspension!

Il upload a few pics of the car when I bought it and a few of the processes it has gone through so far!

Enjoy!

Can someone please tell me what this upload quota is about?>
Foe the last two days I avnt been able to upload pics!

HELP ME!!!

[R.S.P]

I think your only allowed to load x amount to the forum server, best way to do it is upload your pics to photobucket and then link them from there and you can post as many as you want.

[LukeMoss]

Yeah use photobucket, you wont have a very high upload allowance because of you not being a member of TMF, just use the image code from photobucket
