Irish Mini Owners Club

Cheers! Gotta get em sandblasted first then paint em then theyre off!! Haha so guestimating next month!

Oh and Kenneth they do look real similar! Ya should get on them! Would look nice!

So on the home straight now!

Steerin wheel & seats in! Wheels a bit close but Its something I just aint used to!





Looks grand!

Love it man!! he's lookin good

I'm liking the Sparco buckets! do the shoulders of them rub anywhere?

Looking good .
The seats, steering wheel position and the bare column gives it that WRC look.

Cheers lads!

Macker the shoulders are right at the door but it all closes grand so just about fits in! =)

Minis24se7en - Thats what I was thinking myself gives it a nice race look which was what I was going for! Just a bit different after having the wheel far away to right up close! Ill learn to love it! =)

Update:

Ok actually nearing the end this time!
Only some wiring in the engine bay to finish up, exhaust to go back on and tuning!

Off to paint on Wednesday so will hopefully get it back within a week and give use another update, from a different location! =)

Now the photos!

Nice dash & single stalk! Keeping it simple! =)

Taster of the harnesses!


And Patches! Loving the debadged grill!


So next update after paint! =)

Coming along well. Looking forward to the update

Thanks Dave! Cant wait myself! Getting exciting as its actually coming to the end now!

So its well back from paint and is running well!

We had a few set backs as the manifold was a bit warped but its all good now and the flywheel was warped beyond fixing so a new one was ordered and fitted! We under estimated the heat that was in the fire!
But not much left to do only some bits and bobs to be attatched like the sump gaurd and harnesses . . . and brakes need bleeding but should be home real soon!

No pics to show use just yet as I havent been able to call out recently but I promise use photos before the weeks up! =)
