yeah nice one, think im going to get 14 inch because of the roaling radious and the issue of grip.

looks like a nice bit of fabrication going on. if you want to run 13" why not a metro gti wheels.

Do it right the first time and make it mint!!!!!!

people get good grip on 10's i dont think 14's will make much diff imo dont go more than 13 starts to look odd on a mini

nice,
its goona be real fun when its done

bought a set of aley cat wheels 7x14 they only just clear the anti roal bar links front and back. but they hit the calapers at the front because of the shape of the inside of the wheeels(the back of the spokes) . i dont realy want to use spacers but it does solve the problem for now.

the steering coloum is in, got it of a metro. ive adapted the brackets and used them.






The rad is just sat in the front, havent figured out how to mount it yet.

Should be easy enough to get the inner wheel centres turned down my a few mm. Shouldn't effect the strength of the wheel.

the wheel on the back is an allycat 14x7 and on the front is a mgf wheel 15x6. I want to run a pretty low profile but havent found many good tyre options. Anyone know of any decent tyres in either of these wheel sizes?

going to try to get most of the body work done this weekend so i un bolted both of the subframes and put it on blocks. im going to replace the a pannels, sills and rear quater/door repair. Also i need to sort out the botom front subframe mounts.

The mgf that i used for the engine had air con so i took the pump off wich sat just under the alternator. there's a bracket that the air con pump and alternator just to the left of the exaust manafold wich holds a pully which is not needed just wondering wat a non air con one looks like. cheers Nat

you could have run the mini with air con..

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!

The revenge of the oversills!
Other than that, I'm really liking the fabrication.

cudnt get hold of genuine ones so they went on lol they fitted well. i think they stronger aswell, you can weld allong the full lenth of them. bit late nnow eh!

use the MG wheels with 195/45 x 15 tyres.

I think oversills are ok when not being used as oversills! At least you have cut away all the old outersill! Looking good keep up the good work

Yes i moved to the darkside

Looking good.

THe over sills will be fine as long as you cut vents in them. Austin out the vents there for a reason...

got the other side done except the A panel today. Also made a small repair. It all went well except i got some distortion on the rear quarter panel, nothing too big but i dont really like the whole preparing for paint thing.

Going to get the rest of the panels on in the week and try get all the welding done.

this is a fast paced build mate, i love it!!

Got the other A panel on during the week. I decided the old paint needs to go so i got the paint striper out! it took me longer than expected to take all the paint off, probabaly because of all the fumes. I also cut of the vallance but got a power cut half way through the job so that was as far as i got this weekend. ill put some more pics up tomorow.
