Very very nice work Jared. Any plans to import the semi slick A032Rs from the UK? They'd suit these wheels perfectly.

Better be K series head Cool 
You can build yourself a nice Twink motor then

I'd love one. Wonder what it would be like on the 998.

I think it would be pretty cool.

Agreed. I see there's a guy who might offer a conversion kit for the 1.2 FIAT twincam head. Unfortunately, he's in the UK.
I was adding some receipts into the file and realised it's getting quite full. No, it's not to brag, it's just me being pedantic about this car.

Thoughts on the gloss black?

Can't wait to get some tyres on :

Good job on the refurb.

RE: Charlie - Mini Mk3 - Miniac - 12-01-2015

I think that the gloss black looks good

Thanks Smile I was going to go with satin, but I think the gloss looks good and will be harder wearing.

Sand the handle down and add more coats. You can end up with a mirror black finish. Would look very cool

RE: Charlie - Mini Mk3 - DomMINIque - 12-02-2015

The chrome on that handle, polished or resprayed?
