Spent half an hour polishing my roof, trying to remove a stain, turned out to be a clouds reflection - Fail! :/

Cheers! yeah mine changes from blue to grey depending on the light, metallic grey Minis are rare, and imo very interesting, yukon grey/ smoke /tweed look nice, but are pretty common atm :)

Busy day tomorrow. Gear selector seal to replace, respray my steering wheel matte black instead of gloss, re-seal my windscreen, AND change the coil springs on a vw polo. Quite worried about trying to get that lot done in one day. But for now, it's off for a chillout and a skate.

Getting a bit more of a move on with Stitch, figuring out this Rover conversion now!

Nope. Though I'll need less with a k-series in comparison to an a-series. Plus it helps that the fella and his best mate are pretty well known on the mini scene for their knowledge of cars and ability lol.

But the K series is famous for chomping Head gaskets....just look at how many cheap K series rovers are out there with blown gaskets. Not a hard job to do mind you but it is a weak point. Good powerful engine though and good luck

Dream Mini just found :) want my Sheldon to look like this, minus the mahoosive exhaust from it, a nice RC40 centre exit and that's perfect for me http://www.delta-mini.com/car/salecar/green/green39.html#img/green39/img01.jpg
