Hey,
After my encounter with that damned curb; Pat and Faz came to have a look and have given the mini the all clear :D, which I am ecstatic about! They are going to begin the work of removing front sub-frame, fitting new one (Which Dave (Stealth) has very kindly offered me! (Thanks Dave!), beating back floor, fitting new bushes, possibly replacing hub-assemblies and then doing the work I arranged with them before (new sills, A-panels and floor pan), all when they arn't up to eyes with other work that is! So I can't wait to have the mini back!....It's going to feel like a whole new car after seeing it sitting sadly down my road for weeks!
But basically I wanted to ask evryone for ideas on any extras or mods I can add while its having its overhaul etc...(obviously they cant be too extensive, expensive or labour intensive as my bank balance is already feeling the weight of having a mini!) Plus what would be the fun in doing everything at once??!....
Probs the first on my list is Wheels, as I have already ruined one, It sort of gives me an excuse to buy a whole set!
I was thinking 12x6 Revolutions.....Not too extravagant, but nice :)- I want that wide look!
Have seen these on ebay..... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=006&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=160094533138&rd=1&rd=1
Although I expect the price has gone up now!
Then there's wheel arches: is there any guide as to which arches to get with which wheels?
Similarly I saw these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=014&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=330098041741&rd=1&rd=1
If anyone has any wheels/ arches they want to sell I'd love to know!
:D
