Charlie - Mini Mk3

Well, all four wheels are now polished and assembled. I just need to get the bolts torqued up to spec and I'm sorted. I did, however,manage to snap the head off of one bolt - I didn't put it under much strain, so I think it was weak from the beginning (didn't have a problem with any of the other ones) :
![]() On a side note, I just managed to miss a big hailstorm while working on the car today. Oh, and I also stripped the window winder handle, so I need another one of those . . .

They look stunning! Great job dude.

Really came out looking good, now all you need to do is package them up and send them up to me for safe keeping.

Pity about the stripped/broken parts.
Happens to all of us (read as me) quite often.

Wishful thinking
This will be the last update on these rims until tyres are attached - promise.
I decided to replace all the allen bolts, rather than just the one snapped one - better safe than sorry : ![]()

So this will be the last update on the wheels until they arrive on my doorstep and I begin to write about them instead
On a side note, they've come out looking amazing, another testament to your ongoing hard work to getting Charlie looking like a real one of a kind stunner in SA. FOR LITTLE OLD LADIES IT AIN'T![]() 1979 GTS

Jared at the rate you're going you only going to be allowed to put this car on a trailer if you want to take it anywhere.
