No bothers

how did you spray your wheels man?
just sand them down prime them and paint ye?
cheers in advance

Clean them down, remove all the tar, sand them down, MAKE SURE THERE DRY BEFORE YOU START SPRAYING ANYTHING, mask of the tyre, prime them, spray them, laquer them! Take your time and do light coats. I'm sure I can take a day to pop out and give you a hand if you need it

ye man sound ..that would be a big help...gives you a chance to see it aswell haha! you can contact me on this or give us a ring or whatever on 0830058602.

quick update getin rid of the rust on the door















it requires another coat of lighter filler and then primed again and then i can paint it..that should make it look ok but not brilliant

i really like this angle of my mini think it looks ace...what do we think?

quck update the rust on the bottom of the door has been fixed now!
pics too folow of what it looks like now

just an update on the mini the rust on the door has been fixed for the moment and me and my mate began to spray my wheels white have the first two done if it hadnt rained today would have been finished haha...out of my control however!
tommorow i should get the brakes done hopefully as well ...

just a few pics of it with my bros lupo in there as well...hope ya like the wheels

all the wheels are now white pic tomorrow..im really happy with them !

Unfortunately I'm not able to get insurance for the mini until at least October..as that was my only reasonable option due to the costs...one quite was for 9k!

holy cack 9k??? damn i'm glad i'm 25 now

Ye man the joy of being a teen haha!

hi,all today i got my mini a jump start of my bros car just so we could take it for a drive free everything up...went grand ran fine as it should ...but then a while later we just took it out again as it was souding weird it was splutterin misfirin and just generally runnin rough..is this down to the carb or what??
any help appreciated

Could have got dirt in the fuel during rebuild, did you fit a fuel filter, or just a loose connection on the ignition system ,did you change points?

eh no woody i havent done anythin to it by waynof changin anythin or that..as i say the car was runnin fine only around ten mins earlier and it was idlin fine then we tried to drive it again and it had no power and was just rough soundin splutterin and misfirin..unusable any way!


any ideas what this could be??
any help would be appreciated

just got chrome bullet mirrors from huddersfield mini spares today when i get back home next week i will get them on!
