Thanks for the comments, much appreciated and encouraging to get more done!

I'm still alive and the mini will be finished one day. Went down last weekend to do a little bit which didn't get much done but every little helps and all that.

Got my radiator a few weeks back, so that's loosely in place and also got a wiring loom which Stevede is going to help me with, so hopefully I will have a good update very soon.

Not sure if anyone has seen this months Mini Mag but my project is the 'On the Job' feature which I'm very chuffed about, looks mega and makes the garage out to look massive haha!

Hopefully I will get more done tomorrow providing I get some uni work done tonight

The car looks amazing, the brace bars are a clever idea look a lot tidyier that way

Thanks for all the comments everyone, much appreciated. Couple of people asking where I got the front from; I got it from Curley Specialist Mouldings, very good service I received but the bodyshop guys had some problems getting a good fit on it, whether this is just the general fitting or a bad mould I'll never know but the finish I've got is brilliant.

Didn't manage to get much done on the lead up to Christmas really due to it just being the season, uni work and work really.

Stevede has helped me massively with the mini electrics, came down had a look at the loom which has been a very good base to work off as the one I bought was all labelled up. Since then we've ran the main loom through the mini and I've bought the majority of the parts required to get it all working tip-top and looking good as per Steve's advise really. Been figuring out how I'm going to run the various era's of mini electrics as I've cherry picked components but I think myself and more so Steve have cracked it or at least in theory.

Managed to get the front end looking a bit more Mini like with headlights and indicators. The indicators I am over the moon with, deep orange glass, look mega I think.

Keep forgetting the camera but did take one on my phone which is how it sits at present. Also on wheels which I haven't got a pic up of yet.



Thanks for looking and hopefully the updates will be a bit more forthcoming since I seem to coming rather close to the end really, just a matter of pushing on.
