Its looking amasing Lund,
You have to be well chuffed with the progress.

I can see you crawling on the floor to
take a few of those piccies

well its all happening now! don't fancy lending some money for my project do you? like the wheels but i thought you wanted revolutions? keep the progress coming as i have, well, very little!

Im sorry Stu but I can hardly afford to fund my own project! Yes I previously wanted revo's but fell in love with these babys! I just love the deep dish look Will keep the progress coming once it has been made! Oh she's a first time starter at the moment...well for now anyway, not sure how long that will last!

Painted the floors today

Oh and...







Its sooo lowww

wondered what the phone was for! are you having carpets or are you going for the stripped look?

looking good matey. I think it would look nice with carpets, but thats my opinion

you could have picked something a little more general to show how low it is....like a can of coke lol or just something a bit more modern than that phone at least!

low? u taking the piss? looks nearly roadworthy. IS it?

Heya, yeh that phone is there to take the pi** out of the people who put there mobile phones under there cars to show how low it is!! Just thought it would be funny to use a house phone!

Dont worry, it is getting a full cooper interior carpets and all, extremely tidy, hardly used 1990's full Cooper interior for £100 what a great price! It includes front plain black cloth, reclining seats with headrests on subframes, full carpet set, back seat to match, all door cards and furnishings, side bits n all!

Was also looking into buying some brace bars for the doors, a company used to produce them many years back, but I dont know if they still do... just to add a bit more metal in the doors as its only the frame and the skin! Would help incase of side impact... God forbid!

Lund

Painted the sills and under the rear arch in some vermillion enamel paint, instant shine... well impressed Under neath that is a fair amount of rust proof paint, plently of coats of primer and stone chip paint... I think it should last a while!

Here are the pics:





Standard wheels are on ^^

Oh and I don't think you've seen these pics before, of my Mini arriving home after the bodyshop. These pics date back a while now!







Cheers Jay
