sorry guys...the paint was flaking off, so it need repainting...i am considering alternate schemes than black, which does look good...the thing is, i'm doing it up as a mk1,(i understand your concern's mike, but i am making an effort to have it like a mk1 ie, grille, tailights, motor is classic green, and the wheels will be classic, the reason not to go for the more contemporary scheme already on them...). i do prefer the look of the mk1 grille and tailights, though the '70's look is cool...but i'm doing it up in smoke gray, maybe a black roof, or to be different, body colour, with black grp 2 arches...it may have honda seats, though...but i will keep all considerations in mind, nothing is set in stone!!!

well taking into consideration that i stripped down alot of a mini at work, i decided to further strip down mine, but taking out all the windows, except the front sides...how do you do this? (the car at work was a mk2)...i think it's easy but i dont' know lol...o and the mk2 boot is on, headlining remnants gone, finger well cut lol and pics not taken...no batteries for the camera...oh, and the wheels are all blasted, and i think i'm going to spray them silver, and then if i think the centre needs a colour, i can over spray it...might get them powdercoated, if my neighbour's buddy gives a good price...if not, it's a mechanic spraying lol...will still show up good though.
