Hey all.

I'm just collating ideas for my Mini, and i want to see what kind of mods have been done to 70s minis, or minis that have been tarted to look 70s.
im after anything really, period wheels, arches, spotlamp setups, paint colours, interiors and the like.
Show me what you've got!

Jono.

if you want proper seventies....you need a retro BL paint colour....such as sandglow, russet brown, java green, limefower. interiors.am thinking velour, deckchair stripes. some big ass spots on the front, ten inch wheels, and for the really seventies period look...you need a rear window louvre, like rocking horse doo daa!!! )

thats the ticket. nothing is as comfortable or cool as 70's vinyl! all my friends love it, say its like sitting in a sofa...tho thats not in a mini. if you want to do a kind of non-mini mod, you could pick up a square speedo and custom make a dash to fit it...

what about a rookie dash, door cappings and rookie centre console and velour/vinyl interior. and for the wheels a set of 12" compomotives or a set of GKN challenge wheels.
