[Danny341]

Nice, This is a build thats lasted a rather long time!

But i can see something like this becoming my long term goal!

You make sure them pics stay hosted

[Boots]

Got the A panels on braced them and gave them a setback lip so the front slides on flush!





Also put captive nuts in the rear harness bar, thats going to be welded between the to pillers along the parcel shelf



Finally she's starting to look like a mini again!





Please not to many coments about the petruding wheels from arches, im really in love with the way it looks, so im gonna try it through a MOT! ( maybe if i lots at him )

Cheers guys! more pics soon as were going to the prep stages in a few days!

Yeh, the twisted rad is CHEAP!

[minidan]

take the 5 off the front and it would seem reasonable! lol. are there cheaper rads that you could have used?

[Baldspeed Racing]

Looking well good mate, as for the wheels mine stick out and never had any probs with MOTs or even the local law.

[Boots]

Minidan - As im aware thats the only rad for this intended use! but im sure there are other rads out there that you can bend yourself!

Baldspeed Racing - i hope im as lucky as you! the police round here are alright, i guess!

[Jammy]

Have to say thats THE most rubbish exhaust I've ever seen! I think you should change it!

Hahaha you will be fine mate, with the amount of times my car has been checked over nothing has ever been said. Ive been meaning to say that you have done a good job with the back end as well mate, trying to decide if I want to mine as mine is bout knact and I havent got a front bumper due to my FG front end

[aussie]

im kinda jelous..

[Boots]

Ok doke folks, bit of a update for you! no pics im sorry!

With some carfull thoguht and deliberation i have come to this conclusion........

Im going to go for a clubman front, this will give me more room in the engine bay for rad and manifold!

A standard round nose conversion is to much MONEY!

Steve

[nmt_oli]

Whats your roundnose front steve? as i need one! And nick needs a new bonnet! if there curley or smudger cf, then we'll def buy them off ya!

Just leave the roundnose there at tupmans, mine will be there soon!
