1982 Classic Mini - Z Cars VTEC

[remkingston]

Quick Update:
Engine rebuild is almost complete.
I'm replacing the OEM Honda engine mounts with poly ones.

I think I've almost replaced/upgraded most of the car since purchasing her now!

We're getting there team!

Cheers Captain!

I've opted for hydro carbon dipping on the arches: http://youtu.be/V8wHglTJl6A?t=1m32s


Interior wise, I've gone for a spaced honeycomb (rather than the Blockbusters pattern) running vertically in the middle of the seats. This is instead of the diamond pattern on the bottom pic.
Similar to this:

Colour scheme wise though they will look like this (with the Punisher skulls )

Whilst they are being completed, Lee's Trim Shop are also making a bespoke carpet, mats, headlining and carpet for the rear engine ally plate cover.

All detailed with a blue stitch to tie in with the roll cage and harnesses.



ooooo exciting!

Quick update.  The new interior is going in:
 

 
And the PUNISHR back in its home spot:
 

 
 
I'm spending the bank holiday (weather permitting) running the engine in after the rebuild before she goes back Tuesday for the carpet and passenger seat to be fitted.  I'm also having the arches dipped then too.  

So fingers crossed, by this time next week we will have a complete and usable car for this year


Th biggest difference since sealing the engine has been the noise!

I've changed the mounts from the modified OEM Honda ones to poly bushes too.
