Not your normal mini roof rack it's a very decent one mate so if ur into it give me an offer on it

Nah wouldn't be into it man

Bought these last week, in the process of being fitted

I think you may find your tyres hitting the arches at the rear at that height.

They are a bit alright, needs to be adjusted front and back

I love the sump guard

I like the seats

Been a while since I've updated this, not sure wether to start a build thread or just continue this thread, for now I'll keep it here.

I decided a while back to go the whole hog and get the whole car done, it's with a guy at the minute having new floor panels, inner and outer sills both sides, two doors, new driver's side A panel and a full respray inside and out, only place not getting painted is the engine bay.

I've been busy the last while getting parts together for it, here's what I've got so far

Full roll cage
Sportspack arches
12" steelies banded to 7" wide
New lights/indicators
New windows
Polycarbonate door windows with square sliders
All new trim door handles etc

There are some more bits and pieces I can't think of at the minute, I'm getting the underneath schultzed aswell.

Here it is today

What size 12" tyres can you get for 7" wide?

165's with a little stretch

Who is doing that work ( and where)

You are going to end up with the little rocket i always wanted for a daily. Keep her going

A guy in Lusk, Keith is his name, why do you ask?

I actually can't wait to get it back on the road

Jesus I haven't updated this is ages! Progress has been pretty slow, I've just been gathering bits n pieces for it the last 6 months

This is how it Sat about a month ago, it has since gone for paint and should be back in the next few weeks




It got new front floor panels both sides, new inner and outer sills both sides, and a new wing / A panel

Here's some of the bits I have, I have a 6 point roll cage that I'm getting flocked aswell

Centre locks with new water temp and oil pressure gauge


Spax lowered shocks, damper adjustable


Polycarbonate windows


Single seater mirrors


Three point harnesses
3/4" spacers with extended studs
Braided oil pressure feed
New wheel nuts
Coolant temperature sensor




And the boring stuff that I've no pictures of

New rear lights
New door handles/boot handle
All new window rubbers
New windscreen
New indicators/headlamp rings
New door seals

Haven't updated this in a long time! This is pretty much how it sits at the minute, I've fitted smaller front spacers since














This picture is with the smaller spacers and camber set up
