I think you should finish it, all the effort that’s gone into it, looks great, has some fantastic parts on it also..

Even if you store it again and go back to it next year

Just my opinion

That is a nice looking Mini! I have to confess that I wasn't initially very keen on the big wheels, tyres and wheel arches, but now I can say I love it!

 

Well done Ben & owner, and hopefully we can see how it is going to be finished.

 

Victor,

So now with a little bit of a change of heart and seeing the car in the metal I don't think I can let it go without seeing it through till the end, I probably needed that visit.

 

So with the bodywork pretty much done I have a question. 

 

What colour do people think to have the engine painted. I don't want black.

Well done on the rethink, engine colour that’s an individual thing I suppose…

Mine will be black

 

Would green go well with that blue

Body colour block and rocker cover with a black cylinder head and clean bare metal gearbox looks good imo
