For me it was Wolfrace slots, chrome weller 8 spokes had them on my old VX4/90 and MK3 Tina. Oh jacked up Fords especially Crappers but they were dying out by then due to those new fangled fwd escorts etc.

I did the wooden dash with a set of gauges out of the Triumph. Including the warning light one that looked like a pie chart!
I had 10" slotmags though intead of wellers.
A pal at the time had a rear view mirror that went the full width of the car. IIRC it had 7 or 8 different angled mirrors in it.
Another pal had the jacked up Escort Mk1 with the fog lamp under the back shining on the badly painted diff case!

Here's a pic of my Gray Mini in 79' (before it was Gray). 100 plus wheels, two tone paint, & Austin America seats. Added one of those full width interior mirrors later (Wink Mirror).
