Right new to the stanceworks forum but I am on mini forums. This is my attempt at stancing a classic mini and turning it into a retro head turner. My main plan for this is to turn it into a stanced, fast-road mini that can look good and go good too!
This has been my first car and a slow build to start off with due to not much money. Going to be a bit pic heavy to start with to bring you all up to speed but I will try to upload as many pictures as possible when do more to it.
Any feedback and help is welcomed as I am always looking at how to take this project that bit further.
This when it all started:
Then I started to get my hands on it and decided to update the interior and give myself a bit more comfort:
Then the ICE came in (8 speakers - 1000w - all subtle):
Then it was time for some new rubber and to start to get it low and wide:
Then time for a freshen up on the paint (never was keen on the original pain style):
And some small touches to the interior to freshen it up:
This is how it was sitting and I knew the offset was completely wrong on the wheels:
So I tried some 19mm spacers (widest you can go on the spaced drums on the mini):
It was looking a bit better so I thought it was time to drop it and see how it looked then (low n slow!):
I still didn't like the stance so decided some new wheels were in order so I bought these custom babies!:
Eventually I got it sitting much better and this is it how it sits now, I still want to go lower at the back and will but I need to tub the rear arches. I will also be getting some camber brackets in the future to really help give this the perfect stance!:
Look out for updates soon people! Got a new racing exhaust going on over weekend to give it some more ground clearance and a bit more power. Got big plans next year for tubbing the rear to go lower, adding some camber and a race-spec n/a engine.
Love to hear what you lot have to say!
