I love your garage!! Great work on the spit

[TheBIGGERimage]

Yep, Dad was in charge of drilling the holes.. so I haven't had a play with it yet to see what angles it sits at, but I trust it'll sit where I need it. But it sits nice and secure

At the moment sits at all 90 degree angles, could be more if required.

I think the colour you're after is Yukon Grey! And if so, good man! My next build will be in this colour... or russet brown!!

And, in your dustpan i saw a door check strap, don't throw it out! lol

[AndrewJ530]

The colour is very similar to ed's bean. Might be worth a message.

[mighty mini jack]

Looks very similar to Cumulus Grey - GR29

Then theres Tweed Grey - GR4 Which is a tad darker (ed's colour i'm sure)

Found here Colour guide

Edit, Pictures failed...

Yes! I haven't got it yet, got a subscription for Christmas so I will get it soon

Nothing yet, I've been at Uni.

+ Dad spent a day stiffening the welds, we are both very happy now that it's sturdy and supportive.

+ Got our eyes on a Clarke Dremel, waiting for a VAT free day at Machine Mart before buying.

+ And it's Bingley Hall next weekend and seeing as I'm at the stage now where I can buy some panels and some other bits, I will be hopefully a 7.5 brake disc conversion for the front if my funds allow as well

Nice Luke, next stop the front cover!

Will have to get a copy this weekend at Bingley

[sharps555]

dude thats sweet! still coming along nicely?

[analogue_radio]

Hoping it'll be good enough for a big feature! maybe not front cover but at least a few double page spreads we'll see!

Oh Carboy, am I still buying that GB wheel off you?

No updates yet, still the same as above really waiting on a few tools and Bingley

[analogue_radio]

Picked some very nice bits up today

First of all these are a few minis similar to the colour I'm hoping for, the Woody is tweed grey, looking very likely.







& a mini I love'd the style of..



& this is what I bought

Fibreglass MK1 double skin boot lid.





7.5 Disc conversion, Mini Sport sold out.. so I asked Mini Speed and they put together a set for me, a Calliper and a set of flanges are missing, but they are coming through the post within the next week. 4 pot and vented discs











Set of wheel nuts, I'm really pleased with these.. they don't have those awful caps over the nuts, and only cost me £14 which was nice.



& finally another GB, I met Chris (carboy) and bought it from him. I have five now so enough to give me a spare for the boot.

[GreaseMonkey]

Tasty!! Are those 7.5" 4 pots? How much did they set you back?

Yes!! You got a picture of the white Mk1, loved the styling on it

[GreaseMonkey]

Doh double post
