ive done a bit of stuff since my last update, engine bay is now completely stripped of wiring/brake lines, and found a bit more rust in the corners of the floor pan (by the wheel arches) .... but now its back to uni for me today, so that means no updates until i get back which will be some time around Christmas...

 

cheers for the support and interest so far guys!! and fear not! for i shall return!!!

i didnt have to adapt them at all, the steelies that i had banded were austin healy sprite wheels, and the hub caps are standard sprite hubcaps so they fit straight on

Lookin mean there! What camber are the lower arms that you have? are they preset or adjustable? Im looking at setting my mini up similar to yours. I already have 13x7 alloys just need to get it lower
