[camp freddy]

have you got a bottomless wallet dog

[Dog]

No Freddy, why do you ask?

I'm just the type where, if I want it, I'll get it, I don;t see the point in getting half measures, when its not what you want!



I also had a play on Paint earlier...
This may be what the Mini looks like in the next rebuild!!

[Bungle]

is that a roof chop ?

[Dog]

is that a roof chop ?

on that piccy yep!
Its also De-seamed.

Like I said, that might happen when I come to rebuild the Mini again...


But take away the roof chop, and de-seaming, and add a black bonnet, and thats my Mini... in a few months time

I do have a better outlook of the Mini, have a lookin the photoshop area

I've always wanted whitewalls, well ever since I watched "Cars"

[Dog]

Dash is Finished







Personally, I don;t think its bad for the very first ever go at covering something, few places where I think I could improve, but over all, its awesome!!

I also put another coat of paint on the bulkhead, and hopefully, I'll find some "get up and go" to do my subframe

[miniboo]

looks awesome

[Jordie]

looks good. i found using the staple gun worked best. pull and staple. i bet ive used 300 staples in my dash

[Dog]

About 100 Were used...
I use spray glue underneth the "fluffy" stuff, but got a little bit on the centre bit and the fluff decided to stick to it, thats the little white bit that shows... I'll get a little brush and paint over it, hide it a little bit

I finally got off my arse and painted my front subby!


Even thou its hammerite red, it seems more orange... (might be my screen/eyes) will see how red it is, when I put it up agasit the orange bulkhead...

But I got my polybushes today for the front subby, and the geometary kit, "should" be here tomorrow, so hopefully, I could have the subframe and wheels back on, for the weekend
