Basically just fitted all the carpets and seats and the new seat covers, only the door cards left to do for the interior now.

I gotta say i'm very happy with the interior, looks the bizz, and the seats are very comfy

Looks great, Where did you get the carpet from?

[Nickh_16]

Hey thanks for the comments

I'm quite pleased with the interior, very nice for a students budget lol.

I hope it's done in time, the car will probably be done, it's just the engine and front brakes which may not be ready we'll see how it goes.

I got the carpets and seats in a package deal with P&L minis last december? sometime.

I WANT THAT MINI LOTSS! its egsactly how i want mine just mine would be slighty variated. like a OEW mk1 grille for the really period look. i like the center binnacle but i like clocks in front of me so i came up with the dash i have pieced together feel free to have a look and my thread (link in my "signature") cant wait to see this when its finished!,
good luck with the finishing..

Whey got a box of brake bits to re-furb my cooper s set-up yesterday (heavy box;)) and so was the invoice really scrapping the pan for money now, let's hope there's nothing else that needs doing!

Sprayed all the door cards black aswell, they're looking awesome now on the car, will get some pics later!

Off for a 3-day hike tomorrow morning so no working on the mini 'till sunday

Just speed read this topic, and wow it looks like an amazing mini! I hope you get it finished for your 17th! Its fantastic to see people driving Mini's as their first car like me, its so much fun

Tell your Dad he is a miracle worker! Both the Mini and the Lotus have beautiful bodywork. It is also cool that you got to do some work on it, im hoping to start "getting my hands dirty" with my 1991 Cooper!

[Down&Out]

only a month to get it done! better get on with it mister! im watching youu!

Hey guys, haven't had an update in a while now.

Weeeeeeeeell got the cooper s brakes all cleaned up in a parts washer at my dads work, so now it's time to put them back together with all the new stuff that came in a big box a week ago

The head has been cleaned and sent of to be converted to unleaded and all that jazz....

And the arches have been sprayed and put back on! We attempted to put the chrome strip on them but it just wan't working! Everytime we tried to put it on it kinked, it would not go aroun the arch in a nice smooth arc, just kept kinking, tried the boiling water, hot air gun and everything! The chrome is probably ruined now so we'll need to order another set and have another go:(

Plans for the car to be ready by the 16th are NOT looking good atm just the engine and brakes to do....but it's really gonna take a while, guess i'll have to steal the sis' car to learn in! Then i'll let her have a go in the mini seeing as she wants one so much!!!
