wow havent updated this for a while! We have progress at last.

 

Firstly I managed to get my hands on some new seats. They are out of Tommy Makinens very own Evo, so theres a bit of rally history there =)

 

Had to rob them off my instagram page so apologies for the crappy photo!

 

 

And this is the dash before we destroyed it and killed it with fire. I hate beige, and chrome. This had to go. The steering wheel is going too, after a deep dish wheel with a quick release.

 

 

Decided to spray all the interior door bits too

 

 

And this is it nearly completed. Wiring for the speedo, rev counter, oil pressure, temp, and fuel...plus a starter button and switch ignition. The speakers are going to be fitted where the air vents go on the new dash.

 

 

The new door handle bits looking good, new door cards are to be fitted soon!

 

 

And another photo of the mad mess!

 

 

 

We also decided to get rid of the front fogs and go for a clean look. I personally think it looks a lot better =)

 

 

 

When the interior is in and all complete, and the spraying all done I'll update with more photos. Thanks for looking =)

More updates. Decided that i needed a shortshift gear stick so i went for the KAD mk2 setup. I can report its bloody brilliant =) 

 

 

Inside the car we went for a hidden stereo setup, i think it looks cleaner and doesnt clutter the rest of the dash up =)

The rest of the wiring was completed and we decided to put small speakers instead of the air vents. Looks alot better in my opinion 

 

 

 

We built up the hubs so now she can move up and down the driveway =) finally!

 

 

 

Next was the side mounts for the seats. Unfortunately they wouldnt fit the seats, so we had to modify them slightly. This meant welding a new piece on top of the mount, once done we sanded them down and re sprayed them =)

 

 

 

 

On the floor is the mountings we made for the seats to sit on, so we'd get as low to the floor as possible 

 

And then it was finally time to pop them in! They fit like a glove

 

 

 

Also decided to get myself a deep dish wheel =) one of my favorite purchases i think

 

 

 

 

More High quality photos will be uploaded once we've fully finished the interior. And photos of mini in the park this weekend will be up too =)

 

Thanks for looking!
