Dale, have you got anypics of how you have finished off the rear wheel arches on the shell at each end (front subframe mount and the box in the rear corner) What arches are you using?
The sportspack are gettin scrapped as they will fail the mot

Hi, not sure what you are asking here. Do you mean the bodywork or the fibreglass arches?

I think they are group 5 arches but i have had them for so long i cant remember where i got them.

Why will you fail the MOT??

[markrally]

The wheels stick out 15mm past the edge of the arches

I was referring to the body itself as im tidying all the edges up at the moment.

Originally, i left the lips on the bodywork, but now i have cut them off to get the back lower. I left the box sections in the corners at the back, you can probably see them on my photos of the new exhaust can a few pages back from here.

Why dont you just narrow the track a little??

Here's the new front subframe, looks a beauty, but i want to wait and see what it handles like in a bike engined mini before i decide whether to get one or not. Looks like it wouldn't go straight on mine anyway as it has a different radiator and mine has the battery, fuel gubbins, starter solenoid etc between the fuel tank and tha rad. Also depends on the accelerator linkage etc

Dale, are you prone to having a lot of fires in your kitchen??? :fear: :fear:
Couldnt help but notice a few extingushers in the background!!!

Lol, well spotted, there are some more in the other corner!! The missus tends to burn things, so you never know when they might come in handy!! :fear: :fear:

The tyres are equivalent to 175's in width so just right. Was thinking of getting some Image wheels for them, do you know any going cheap??

[markrally]
