Ok, have just got in, and it's tomorrow that Bab's is going off for her respray, so while many of you are packing for BH2N trip, ill be driving her over to Nottingham Mini Centre and saying bye bye to Old Babs...bring on New Babs!

Quick update on the rest of her though, I took her door cards out last week in order to recover them, however I noticed that the rear drivers side door cards was very damp and going moldy :sick: so am going to make some new back door cards, and Tom (minis84) has kindly donated me his old front door cards, so they'll be replacing my manky old front ones! I have slighty changed the design for them, but I'm still hoping they'll look good, will post pictures up as and when they get done!

Anyways, for now, here's one last picture of Babs as she was.....

Looking good. But can I ask. Why on earth do you have that center console? :erm:
It isnt doing anything. just taking up leg room. :tongue:

[minipixie]

you can ask yes and ill reply with! i only have small legs so whens it's in place it doesnt actually take up any needed room! so thats why i have it

[minipixie]

She's gone! Poor Baby!!

But she'll be coming back soon :grin:

[BabyBek]

And she'll come back all shiney and stuff and you'll love her even more

Quick Update!

After nearly a week and a half at the garage I gave him a ring to see how things were going.....

She's been striped down and while he was on the phone someone was half way through rubbing her down and she'll hopefully have her paint put on early next week! Ready to pick up next weekend, wooyay!!!!
