looks like a cool project - ive heard of the scooby slayers, but the saxo smokers is a new one on me - but good on you - the fewer of they pesky things on the road - the better.

Loving the sticker idea

best one is when a saxo or corsa are "gunning" it round a roundabout infront of you, and when your in a mini, you can carry so much speed of a roundabout and overtake from miles back!

but dont do it when its icy or you might end up with a face like:


project looks great, subaru blue, that is one hell of a fine choice of colours, bet it will look gorgeous on a mini too!

cheers for al the replys everyone,

think i might go and get some more paint mixed up at the weekend and paint all inside of the car so when it goes down the bodyshop its only inside the doors and boot and the exterior witch wil need priming and painting so wil be less to do down the bodyshop witch wil hopefly speed things up.

[1987_ParkLane]

1275 SPRITE's 1275 engine gave a VTR a run for its money onece, and that didn't have that much done to it.

Anyway, the project looks good, keep it up, and get plenty of pics up
