[ToM 2012]

Great work Tom

[Minilegs]

Gotta be a black roof tom 😍😍😍 go with what you want, you can always respray it for sale if that ever happens ( I hope not !)

[olds_kool_lews]

It would look mint with a black roof like one we did not long ago

[Ben_O]

I vote white roof. Just to swim against the tide 

 

There is something very classic and simple about the original look of your particular car and it's not kept enough these days.

 

sup to you though mate!

 

Whatever you decide, i know it will be great!

Ben has made a good point there to consider Tom

 

but for me, the colour scheme in that picture, mr old skool, is proper trouser tent !! In fact, I think that combo is now in my top 3 for what colour I'm going to go !

[ToM 2012]

that looks so sexy   but i want to keep it original what does everyone think would it devalue it? as i did want it original with the original white steel wheels

I would think those holes are for battery cut off switch and maybe fuel cut off, it has a large bulkhead box as well

[ToM 2012]

after looking at the shell properly i think it will be used for racing? has holes in the rear arches for a roll cage and a extra support bracket accross the floor. thats going to be one nice mini to race...

[Minilegs]

Looking good Tom 😃
Your so close now to getting some colour on!!

[olds_kool_lews]

Looks great! Nice to see a bit of colour, even if it is just red oxide lol seriously though hats off to you! Good job!

The shell we built/painted above is being used for historic racing, started life as a mk2 but we restored it to mk1 spec inc complete rear panel







Sorry for the pics, bit of inspiration though?
