Mini Pickup Rebuild by mini-man-dan

Got a bit more done today...
Have tried putting the front subframe rear mounts on and the holes won't line up to the subframe So going to leave them until I get the engine in, so there's a bit more weight to push and pull the subframe about with.

Got the new calipers and pads on though. First time I've rolled it out of the garage this year Got the rear lights on now too, had to go for the 'later' style ones, as the early ones are a tadge on the expensive side. A new old stock complete pair just sold for over £200 on eBay. Ouch! I'll stay with the later ones...
Looking good I think, getting there slowly!

Got new MiniFins to go on here, but here's what the rear suspension is looking like so far...

So glad that it's a Pickup, so much room to store all the parts on!

Thanks
I guess some people are kinda weary with my project. 16 year old rebuilding one of the rarest Mini variants. I just want to let you all know, no chav-myster bodykit, spoiler, splitter, or stick on bonnet vents will be going anywhere near this car.
Retro is the way forward, with a little twist of modern



Ok, angel eye headlights could be classed as Chavster material, but that's as far as it's going C'mon, normal Mini headlights are like candles. But worse.
