That looks fantastic!

I hope that you manage to find a replacement front seat! At one time this would have been easy, but I guess that most of these seats must have been thrown out years ago. :cry:

Hello Guys!

Thank you for your comments!

I spend a lot of time on this car but now, I think it's finished!

I found the door edge trim at sommerformini!

I'm still looking for a front seat Mark,

I tried everywhere, but I didn't find it.. I used to avoid newton trim but, I will have to deal with it

I also tried to send a mail to Miniworks but they don't have it

I'm also looking for an original spark plug spanner, if someone has it for sale??

Lucas prince of darkness!!

I was driving yesterday to get my girfriend,

When suddently no flasher, no front light and the fuel gauge started to swing..


So we went to home, I started to check all the bulbs and and connectors,

One connector of the headlight was not welded properly, I welded it, the front lights were ok but the fuel gauge and the flasher was swinging..

I move just a little my brand new chinese fuse box, And finally All was working properly..

I hate electricity!!
