All the suspention set up again, the coilovers are wound out jsut to show the amount of adjustment that can be had with the turreting of the arches!

WOW steve, properly WOW.

I am SERIOUSLY tempted to get tupman to redo my boot, my welding on the flat floor was shabby (was my first welding on the car), the rest of the floor is a bit bodged, my arches are iffy.

now ive missed my deadline, i want the mini PERFECT, and thats looking very good.

Interesting dash bar arrangement, what gauge steel are those tubes? will probably stiffen the front end up a treat- although that can sometimes be a bad thing , tap an a-panel on a barrier, and you can knock the shell out of alignment.

Nicks also thinking of doing the same- turreting and tubbing.

Looks mint
I really do like this one
Good luck with the rest of it
