Well heres the jet black. Ive fitted a stage one kit with a modified airbox and aam needle, twin box rc40 etc. Also ive had to change the bearing in the front top arms as they where knackered (nasty job) but other than that its just how i got it. Unfortunatly the only matching set of wheels i have are wellers which dont fit so it looks a little odd 12" front 10" rear

As for the pickup its coming on well. Its amazing how much prep is required before each step but its almost time for the front end. I just need to clean off the inside of the inner wings and prep the new panels. (im aiming to have the new front on by christmas) I was amazed by the condition of the scuttle, its almost perfect!

Well ive had a truely mini weekend! Fitted a new steering rack to the jet black yesterday and today ive been fitting the new front end on the pickup. :grin:
Its amazing how badly genuine panels can fit. Ive spent hours today trying to fit an inner a panel wing and front panel together.
They fit ok now, but they were terrible, why does one ginuine panel not fit against another? Crazy!
Its quite satisfying seeing the improvement in fit over the day and its good fun bashing them around till it all fits. Ill get hold of the spot welder at evening class tomorrow and get it finaly aligned, so the front should be done very soon.
Quite nice having it look like a mini again, reminds me why im doing it.

Jet blacks have a nice interior, i did have one got rid unfortunatly due to work needed to fix it, was too expensive, the seats will go in my City instead.

ok ive had a little bit of a break from the pickup as ive been in Oz for the last two months but my dad has been getting on with it and the front is all done. Good thing really as it needs to be finished for the Nurberg run.
