My first retro modification - nothing too impressive - just a proper badge on the back!
Bit scary drilling holes in the bodywork of a brand new vehicle, definitely a case of measure twice, drill once...

SteveR May I ask where you have gotten this Badge from? Found one very similar to it on eBay.

SteveR Could I also ask about the Front Grill & those HeadLight Surrounds Where does one get those from as well?
The HL Surrounds are they Alloy or Plastic?

I love this thread, and the lovely Keswick Green USW it describes!
The ongoing progress of the modifications is great to read through, and definitely an inspiration when it comes to what I'd like to do to my 110.

Keep up to good work SteveR, and keep on updating this thread for me to read! 110 XS TD5

Hi everyone,

I keep coming back to this thread, taking references from what is for me one of the best looking 110's I have admired on the net; pity this particularly elegant / good taste treatment was not applied to the body configuration of the pre-Puma generations. Today, I opened my "wallet" and bought myself a rare and thus expensive NOS Stage One V8 grill; for a start.

If money was not a concern, I would have a 110 - four doors - be built from scratch with best new parts.

Best to you all

BigM

Thanks CR!

Apologies for the lack of updates recently - not much to report in the way of further mods, I've just been using it!

Have now fitted a genuine parts tow bar and made full use of it when moving house. Easily lugged the contents of my garage (including my Mini and Lightweight) down to the Essex coast:

And here's one of the Lightweight safely tucked away in its new home:

Happy Christmas all!

You moved to Essex? Gah, I was just thinking today about mailing you to see if you wanted to go laning! Did you see what happened to my 110? 2011 110 USW

These badges are winging their way to me from Gavin at Artmin Design too:

For those that don't fancy drilling their bodywork but want to fit the badges - 3M do a range of very sticky double sided tapes (I understand some grades are used in the aircraft industry) and you could easily stick a couple of rivet heads in the holes to complete the look?

Yes, have just been catching up with your 110 thread - really gutted for you mate. Glad you've got it back in one piece now.

I'm still in Warwickshire during the week and down in Essex most weekends, so may be able to fit in some midlands laning at some point!

SailingTom I'll keep an eye out for your Keswick Green beauty. The new pad is down in Walton-on-the-Naze...

Cheers.

Thanks Supacat - has been a 5 year rebuild so far and still not quite finished! Now has permanent 4WD and a 3.9 Efi V8 so not as standard as it looks...

You've built my ideal L/W there! Thumbs Up

Sorry for going off topic, but what axles are you running? I'll eventually rebuild my SIIA, and want to go with a V8, 7.50s etc, yours looks very well put together and able to handle the power. Pete

Sounds like a good plan for your SIIa - I'm currently running a Stage 1 V8 front axle including the bigger brakes and RR diffs. I may eventually fit a disc brake conversion or go for RR axles, but will see how it goes for a bit...
