Tis always better to use metal on a steel bodysheel, I don't think FG bonds too well to metal.

Hope you get it sorted soon honey, and post up pics when you get em!

Hiya!

Jus rung up the Mini Garage for my weekly update!
It's looking good.....I think?
Apparently he's built up all the new section under the window screen! And he's hopefully going to have her primed by the weekend and then spray her next week! Finally it's looking like there might be some light at the end of the tunnel! After all she's only been there a month!!!!!!!!

Anyways I'm popping over to see her on Saturday and I'll be taking my camera so I'll post ya all some piccies!!!!

Cheers for the comments on the door cards! Just cant wait to put them in place!!! Hopefully it won't be too long before I can now!!! fingers crossed!!!!

Whats the latest on your mini Sian??

[minipixie]

Well I rang him up on Saturday with a view to going to see her and he said he closes at 12..........i rang him at 11:30 still in my pjs, so that just dint happen, other than that I know no more than I did since my last post.


Actually, I just rnag him! He's finshing off the primer this afternoon! Will hopefully be in colour by the weekend, but I'm not going home this weekend, however, my Mum is popping over to drop my new legal road plates, so might ask her to take a couple of pictures! Or I might just wait, cus it might ruin the surprise! I'm not sure yet lol!

But as for her being finsihed he says next weekend...roll on the 15th of October!!!! WooYay....FINALLY!!!!

[millsminis]

Woohoo!!! Sounds promising.......bet you can't wait for it to be finished!!

[minipixie]

Finally got some pictures of my ickle Mini!
Mum and Dad popped over yesterday to drop off my number plates! they took some pictures for me too!
She's looks mega sad without all her bits on! Mum says the only way she could tell it was Babs was because it had my keys in the ignition! I agree, part form I saw my ickle union jacks on the alloys! They still look like Babs! Mum also said that even tho she looks quite sad, she think she'll look good when finsihed! Mind you, as you can see from the pictures only the roof and bonnet stripes have been done so far, so not sure how she could tell! lol!
Also in one of the pictures you can see the painted wheel arches inside her!
