after spending a few weekends at various santa pod events this summer it seems those big white rev counters with shift lights and that are so popular even with the retro cars like campers and bugs etc not keen on them myself but you cant miss them they are massive!

[Dog]

I know the ones, but a true driver, knows when to change from the sound of the engine, so a big MOOOOOOOOSSSSVVVIEEE rev counter, is just chavy and bling...

I'll be happy with a works type one, on the cage!

[Pie]

You mean the silver plastic fantastic rev counters from Halfrauds?? lol

[Dog]

Aye those are the ones...!
I want a proper one, to suit the dashboard!

[Dog]

patched up the holes that I had to do....
and heres a tip, don't chuck any of the steel you have chopped off, it makes good weldable patching steel




Still a few more trick one to takle!




Decided to spary my boot up, as I am finished in there....



Half fitted my sill... its only tacked into place atm!


I also made a one of a kind front end!



Hopefully tomorrow, I should get the sill fitted, and I might start fitting my cage!

looking ood dog, really starting to come on now.

at least one of our cars will be ready in time!

[ShauneyB]

I want that front end

[Dog]

I am sorry but the front end is a complete one off, and will never be reproduced!

MOWOG, yours is coming on well too! You just seem to be buying more bling bits than me at the moment... I can't afford much blingy bits yet, as I just want the Mini ready for "modifing" for the winter mwahaha!

[Jammy]

At last, someone has found a way of making the front end aerodynamic!!

[andywaller]

there not really called bling bits, everything has a purpose, but i know what you mean, i just want to have everything bought up so once the cars painted i can set to work.

i dunno about you but i hate body work!

[Dog]

Yep I am the same!

The sill is a pain in the arse! I hate welding upside down! I hate the sill because its weld a bit, tap it down, weld a bit, tap it down... due the floor being uneven where I've welded my new inner sill in....

But, pah, once its done its done, I can start on collection my blingy bits

beauty, think they look good, bit awkward welding on your side like you say mate

OOOOOO I like!
I am still not sure if I want to deseam my sills...

Means I'll have the get the sills painted body colour... and it also means I can't paint them in underseal to stop them rusting...

Keeping the Lip me thinks.... I'll put some nice chrome strip long there!

But yours is certianly coming on!

I proberly would of got my sill on properly today, and got a few other things sorted, but I woke up with a headache, so decided to do a few other things round the house!

Next week, the sill will be done, and the few holes I found!
Might even brave the cold this week, and get on my side, and start welding...

I've got the advantage that mines propped up pretty high
