My old build thread is available here: http://www.theminifo...was-about-time/
Over the colder months i decided that i wanted to go in a totally different direction to the first plan i had in mind, and now the weather is warmer, and i have more free time, i felt it was time i acted on these thoughts.
The aim is to create something a little more different, a stanced racey looking mini, with the performance, but still with a nostalgic and 'retro' feel.
This is as far as i have gotten so far, and i will continue to update this, opposed to my old thread.
It started when i purchased a set of 8x13 revolution wheels.
They were in a dire need of a refurb, but i noticed they were the old revolution motor sport series wheels, and i had to have them.
I had them refrubed at pristine wheels, and they did a great job, considering one was buckled and another had about a 2 inch crack in it.
Then when the time was right i had tyres fitted, and fitted my longer wheel studs to give me loads of thread engagement.
suspension was adjusted, and i also used some minispares 9.5mm wheel spacers on the rear, as the wheel poked from the front more than the rears.
The car is now sitting much nicer, and currently is looking like this.
Even though the rears are tubbed by about 2 inches i can't really take advantage due to the wheel poke, but currently im happy with the ride height.
Now the car is sitting evenly both sides, and it's handling much nicer i'm going to take a break and sort out some of my dreadfully unfinished interior, and little bits here and there.
I've also started work on the head of my Austin 1300gt, so some pics of that progress will also follow shortly.
