Yup - same as a normal mini

BUT, I'm still really not happy with how the door turned out . Can't go down tonight as i left car at work. Honest opinion anyone? It's GOT to stay steel door though. It's not banana shaped like in the second picture.

Wow been a while since I've worked on this baby!! Fear not though, its getting sprayed next week. May as well get the door finished one side whilst I'm at it. So watch this space We've not given up on it yet

I did hear you like short mini's..........

[mighty mini jack]

Think its been passed about on this forum waaaaaaay too much

[HARBER07]

Haha . You can't rush perfection

[GreaseMonkey]

As long as they're short, fat and wide

All minus minis have shortened windows, thats how you can tell them apart (apart from the missing roof gutter)

[HARBER07]

Not according to the Minus register? The windows *should* be the same as normal minis (OK ours doesn't!) But its the 3" ish body chop from below the bottom door hinge. Its also completely de-seamed . The best way I found to tell whether its a minus is........... It's not steel

[silva_mini]

I thought the rear side windows were different in height on all of them? sure I read it in a mini mag somewhere? maybe its some and not all of them

[silva_mini]

The gap from the top of the rear wheel arch to the bottom of the window is a lot smaller too

I've actually worked on this today!!
Not done quite as much as I wanted to but nevermind . Cleaned the shell, fillered where needed, rubbed down and got as far with that as poss. It's all sheeted up in there now, compressor is plumbed into the expansion tank and airlines made up ready for action. Will rub down for a final time tomorrow morning, and get the barcoat on, then hopefully later on that day get it covered in high build primer.

[HARBER07]

Barcoat is on . Should be dry in about half an hour, then I'll start sticking the high build primer on.

[HARBER07]

Some pictures to keep you amused till I get back













Compressor never really ran out of steam either .

[Deathrow]

That's some compressor!

This is looking really good now, I hope you can be the one to get it finished and on the road.

Its a shame about the inner wings but I guess you could put them back later if you really wanted.

Keep up the good work .
