I order most of my stuff by minispares to. I use minisport for wheels (cheaper) and for there 4 pots brakes.

Re: rear suspension coilover MKII

Re: Mk 1 Project Zippy. Stand Up Again (and Swear)

I have mounted the seat on the car without the runners, this saves some very useful space around my head.
