yes so the car has no been re sprayed, it took longer then i had hoped & well.. i got one car to the muster but not the other.

at the moment the car is in parts been bit to busy with music lately, alot of my spare time has been fixing up things that keep cropping up on the swift mini.

so far needed new wheel bearings both sides one new hub & top & bottom ball joints both sides.

needed a good thermo fan, i wired it in & it is thermo controlled type & comes out when it hits what ever temperature the probe hits with the set dial, finally no over heating while in traffic or at the lights.

oh and i finally got my central locking kit installed :) it's great!

at the moment this is how the car looks with it's crap wheels on no doors etc had it out working on little tid bits but not much.

it's all there just needs bolting up, hopefully happen soon. :)

so been putting the car together.

so far mounted and wired up my new alternator, i think the bolt is to thin so i might drill it out and go a bigger bolt for more support.

mounting up the sc kit, looking a bit busy but ill neaten it up, need to find more time!

the car so far, half way done i just want it on the road now, most of the time is waiting for the new parts to properly complete the car.

the back windows actually slide & lock now! all new rubbers & felts it's feeling like new, really come to love the sliding windows.

i'm going to run it N/A first see how the Sc kit and the re83 cam performs then it's Blower time :twisted:

im saving up for some new wheels, i'm not sure if to go 10's then means new brakes or keep the 12's i have 12 x 6 deep dish and switch to other 12's Ie the force racing wheels as im going to try lighten up the car as much as i can with no cheese holes, not sure i need the added cost of brakes and wheels. ( those are just my old shitty wheels for painting over )

bought some rear alloy hubs about 200grams lights & some mini fins as well every little bit counts, would love some rear kad arms as well, when i wind the lotto or rear kad disks!

Hi mate, what car have you sourced your air conditioner parts from and what are you using in the cabin for output?

Late model rover mini. It's a mini kit.

Lots of places have kits. I'm using the rover dash for my aircon.

Nice work Nick... looking great.
Did you have any drama's wiring up or mounting the TPS, etc? What about the temp sensor? did you use the existing temp sender location in the head or drill and tap the thermostat housing?
Anything else a pain?

Pete
