I've just been through your build from start to finish - beautiful job! A couple of questions - how did you do the lettering on the heater facias; did you end up keeping the underfelt on the crossmember & if so how did you join the crossmember carpet to the front footwell carpet - although it may be different to my '89 saloon. Thanks

Hello John, my mate who is an artist hand painted the writing on the facia panel with a tiny paintbrush and I did keep all the underfelt sound deadening as the seats hit the resting pads no problem once the carpet was in and settled. The seat cross member has no underfelt on it, the carpet just sticks straight to it and the front and rear carpets but up against it making it look like all one piece. Thank you for your kind comments.

Sorry I have been missing for a while but I have been busy studying for a qualification for work but I have still Managed to get the Woody tribute Lambretta LD done. Below are a couple of photos of the finished bike (except for the headlight switch which I am still waiting for)

That looks stunning. Love the wooden detailing. Have you got a trailer to tow it behind the traveler?

Not yet but I do not know if I will be able to find the nerve to drill holes in the Mini to fit the tow bar.
