They were on matrixv6.co.uk which seems not to be there at the moment. Hope they come back as I recall it being quite an extensive restoration. I can't imagine the photobucket pictures on this page will still be there in a couple of years time either.

No probs Oz, just pleased to have the thread back to it's former glory!
It's by far one of my favourite ever threads.
I'm curious as to how you managed to retain the tax-exempt status though, I thought retaining it on a heavily modified car was quite difficult and even more so on a mini due to the monocoque structure or is it a case of what they don't know doesn't hurt them?

Not at all Woz all the moddifications were declaired? even to the insurance company which was fun all four of the A4 sheets were faxed...lol fully comp and agreed value at Cough cough...lol and no limited milage as this is now my daily driver for £143 and no road tax life doesn't get any better that's why I am building another one for my lady 
I think if you use a certain pasentage of the original car you can get away with it and it keeps it's historic vehicle status.

Oh yes I am well on with it...lol and the Mrs is in the garage with me helping out which is a first for me! and we haven't fallen out yet either lol gonna start a new thread when I get a mo. Took my car to the lakes for a bit of a spin and stayed overnight because the driving was so good 600 miles we did! lol The only sad part was we broke down just 10 miles from home
turned out to be a faulty new part which was swopped the next day and the car fired straight up again...electronic ignition! Thinking of going dizzyless later this year so I can map my own timing...it's the future
