Frumpy Gets Some Love by benjy_18

5 minute(s) of a 177 minute read

well its far too cold for me to go outside at the minute! so ive been buying shiny bits instead :)

here is the latest buy,

mini speeds new 7.9" vented alloy calipers and drilled and grooved discs! hopefully that should provide enough stopping power when the turbo engine is ready to go!

more good news is that i have a week off work soon so im hoping to get both doors fitting and the underside of the car all finished. maybe even have a rolling shell????

okay some more progress today!

ive got the last few bits to get my brakes built up onto the front subframe and check that the wheels fit for sure! but ill take some photos of them once they are all built and ready to go.

this week ive been trying to get the underside finished and rolling (hopefull i know) but 70% of the floor is now finished :)

more work to do tomorrow so im going to try and get the whohe rear healf of the floors totally finished then move forward on friday

some more work done today, spent around 7 hours out in the freezing cold though

im aiming to get the floors done this week so i can start to get it rolling, so ive just been filling in any holes left underneath and repair/replace any rust that i find (but i think its all gone )

and a cheeky photo with the exhaust in place, looks sooo good!!!

hey guys,

i got some more done on the floors today, not as much as i hoped as i ran out of gas though.
couple of small patches between the heelboard and my exhaust tunnels and a larger patch underneath the handbrake mounts. ill pick up some more gas tomorrow and hopefully get the rear of the main floors finished by sunday.

finished the patches to the tunnels so ive got some more stonechip onto the floors, not too much left now untill its rolling i hope

thanks for the comment husky, feel free to ask any questions as you go along.

right ive been thinking about headlights and decided that i want something a bit different (nothing new there) i remembered seeing a blue mini on stanceworks last year which had a HID projector lens retrofitted to the headlamp bowl, so i started looking around and ive found something that will work!
heres a link to an old thread on minifinity showing the results

obviously im going to have to look into the legality of these (they need self levelers and lens cleaners apparrently which may render this idea useless)
