Right well I keep coming on here and reading all the threads but never bothered to post so I thought it was about time I signed up and showed some pics off. Here she is the day I bought her.    Anyway since owning her I'v done loads. I wanted to do something different to other things you see on the mini scene so I went for a VW /euro look. Or my take on it anyway. A list of things I'v done off the top of my head. -Dechromed a fair few things. Still more to do. -Fitted new exhaust -Sorted out interior, Still have some bits that need to go in. -Fitted new headlights -Fitted all red earlyer style tail lights -Changed the number plates to some pressed ones. -Plus fit a load of other parts. Anyway this is how she looks now.   Current plans are to fit some rest of the interior, sort of some of the dodgy paint at the back and fit my cooper s brakes. Once thats done I can get these fitted.   My 10x7 banded steels. Thanks to James for these! Plan for those are black but the hub cap will be old english white. Same colour as the car. Anyway thats only a quick run though. Thanks for reading. I'd love to know what you think. |

Will look good with 10" gumballs on wide steels. The Mini world has been lacking these for some time.

Cheers chaps! The wheels were done by JamesP on here. He did them for a very good price. Hope to get the banded steels on for march as I would like them on for brooklands mini show. I just need to find some money to buy some tyres. The revos on her on that pic are currently for sale and inbetween them going and bands going on she will be rocking some 10" motorsport wellers.

The chap has a thread on here somewhere with a standard list of prices IIRC, have a search.
Those wheels are pretty serious, you're gonna need arches on your arches!

Fitted a new steering wheel today. Looks the nads but I think parking is now gonna be a bit hard lol.  Also due to a bargain at a mini show last weekend I now have a set of tyres for the banded steels. Just need to get them back from the powder coaters. |
