WOW that took some reading!!! Impressed with what you have done,must have cost a small fortune but looks great!!

Got myself a 91 cooper of my mate that needs floors and outer sills hopefully it won't be much more but it is a mini.

Anyways got inspiration of yours but I won't be as quick.

Keep it up nearly there now.........

Thanks bud !!! And not as yet I haven't....I will make a tread tomorrow and drop a link on here.

Today nothing has gone right!! Pedal box fitment should be an easy job ! He'll no not on my van!! Pain in the back side! But now fully in.

Also started to test fit my carpets and get it trimmed, as I can't actually fully fit until my fuel line goes in tomorrow.
