Great updates..
Looking very smart indeed, presume you’re not going 10” wheels as Kad don’t fit with 7.5 discs etc apparently

They are 7.9''s yes 10''s are being used that will fit.

That’s a bonus, I will look into that as I read on KAD something about fitment..

The headlining is now complete but I'm finding it very difficult to get a good photograph of it.

Hopefully these will suffice

 

 

 

 

I've also fitted the screens

 

 

 

Those few small missing parts have arrived now so once I've completed the jibs I need the cat at this height for, I'll finish building up the running gear

 

Cheers

Pictures are fine for the headlining Ben, it's starting to look like a car again. Shame your not open on Saturdays as I am back over this weekend. Look forward to seeing the rest come together

Oh good.

 

That is a shame. Would have been good to have a catch up and show you round it.

Osf now built up

 

 

Luke, FYI, I I have left the hub nuts untorqued and the split pins in the car as you will need to remove the joints to fit the driveshafts.

Yeah I have to work Friday so won't get over till late friday night, is a shame as I'm bringing the toy back over as we're shooting videos for a brand over there. Would of been nice to catch up how ever If I'm ever round I'll pop in don't think it will be the last you see of me and the mini.

 

No worrys Ben thanks for letting me know. 

[Fred&Rex]

Looking fantastic, great progress, is there a sneaky look at the wheels going with this lovely mini.

Have a peek on the first page of the thread for the wheels 

Or Crazy may have changed his mind again :)

Anyway moving on to the present, So once I decided I was going to stick with 10''s and the overall look I have sitting in my head I set upon searching out for some wheels, (Now bare in mind I bought some about 19 years ago and I've got them still sat in boxes they came in so when i get chance I will throw them in the sales pages) I ended up going for these. Some 10x7 Force Racing FN's 

 

 

 

 

 

These are the wheels going on, save you going back to page 1
