Thanks mate. All credit goes to old skool mini!!

I'm getting new arches so mine will be for sale over the weekend.

Just a quick one as I've been quite busy over the weekend and havent really had anytime to post.
Picking up the mini from old skool and it looks amazing !

All the work starts now really, as I said before. Will get pictures up when I can.

I saw this at old skool friday just gone, it looked awesome mate!

Evening All,

Thanks for the comments. So as I said before I picked up the mini over the weekend from old skool minis. I've taken back to my sisters place in Watford where there is storage space for the mini

Firstly more pictures

I'm really like the seats that I choice for the mini and colour combo. The roll cage adds that extra edge and works really well. Still have to work on the dashboard area, I've got classic centre clocks on lined up.

Next on the list:

Brake piping
Fuel system/tank
exhaust
interior
engine bay/engine

Looking good. Have old Skool reinforced the parcel shelf as you have you harnesses mounted there? Its going to be like a climbing frame to get into the car Is there going to be enough room to wind the window down when you fit the winder handle?

Cheers James,

Yeah the rear parcel shelf has been reinforced as it just moved everywhere ! Rear bins have been taken out too and rear seat back board trimed for more space.



I've fitted the winder handles and not a problem so far ,haha.

So say I've grown a bit so its going to make it that more difficult to get in !

Note- the halford box you sent down with the rear lights last year !

Looking really good and love the colour, what made you change your mind with the arches?

We love carbon and half expected to see a carbon roof, good luck with the rest of the build I'll look forward to seeing it finished

[Sam14]

How come the arches weren't put on?

Beautiful colour, looks so nice you could eat it

Well I'll still be getting cf arches but elsewhere .

Didn't really seem a need for a cf roof at the moment and budget has over shot by a long way,haha.

Maybe next year.... Along with a cf bonnet .
