Just to let you know I'm still working on the car.... Lots of rust and damage so it took me a while to get here. It looks so easy :'(

Firts of all I wanted to say that making this mini is a hell of a job. The preperation of the body takes a lot of time if you want to do a good job. Still working on it in every moment I have (okay, almost every moment.......   

Some pics of the work in progress: The old engine bay is coming together nice.....



I've also took the front hubs apart for cleaning and painting. Hope I can finish that this week and then it'll be waiting for the 4 pot calipers and vented discs to make the car stop.....



Cheers mates!

Been busy today! Went to the paintshop and took home a couple of cans so I had something fun to do today. Oh, and also decided on the colour of the mini. It's going to be in new mini gray. Think it's an awesome colour! First the smaller details on the car will be done, after everything the whole car will go off for a paint job. Think Ady's dad car was the same. Made a simple spray cabine in the garage and went on with it. Results look oké but i'll wait until tomorrw. Things are still in the 'dry box' too so I can't see them anyway....







Put the steeringkolom and the wipermotor in base too so they an be sprayed in colour soon and finished the second box at the banana. Has to be grinded and sprayed with zink before welding. After that it will be sprayed in black (whole inner car will be in black)



Hope ya like!
