DO NOT SELL IT!!! or scrap it for a bmw lmao. . . by the way i think you should do the roof i dont think there are many about also i think some nice "MINT" 6x10 cosmics would look the part on vinnie

[shedonwheels]

This is a pointless post because I haven't done anything but, I'm not selling Vin Min. Too attached now!!

Hmmm Greg, some nice "MINT" 6x10 cosmics you say? You don't happen to have some nice "MINT" 6x10 cosmics for sale per chance do you?
10s won't fit over Vinnie's ankles (brakes) so I can't do it. I could do with some different wheels, a little bit wider. Still haven't fixed his clutch or possible wheel bearing, or throttle body or electrickery yet so new fancy wheels will have to wait, ho hum.

Today Vinnie didn't like the rain and stuck his hazards on really fast all by himself. I couldn't get the switch to budge, had to whollop it one. Also don't think my fog light switch is working so we've got electrickery problems again. On the plus side, nothing else broke.

Inside I've taken out my chunky arm rest and centre console and much prefer it all nice and roomy. I liked my arm rest, but I really want one that is quite slimline that folds up between the seats when you don't want to use it. Anyone know how I can get one of these?! So I may have a beige arm-rest up for sale soon!

Tomorrow I'm technically working from home so if it's not raining I'm going to strip out the underseal type gunk in the boot and see what lies beneath....

Got a snazzy new boot kit yesterday.



Happy!

I did have one from retro retrims that I loved but ruined it when removing the kit to get to the battery several times after a spate of leaving the lights on syndrome. Bert998 made me a new panel an all and I recovered the other bad panels but it wasn't the same. I was thinking about getting a new retro retrims one but then at Malvern met a man with this boot kit who offered to make me a custom one!

This one has a removable panel above the battery...


But no black piping like my old one I love it though!

Bert998 is retroretrims!

Looking good though, nice and tidy.

[MiniAlex]

WOW! Nice Mini
How come you took the stripes off the bonnet? I am liking the roof, I might have to get one of those!

[MiniLandy]

Nice boot! Makes the mini look a bit less utilitarian, might look into one of those...

Great car

[shedonwheels]

Thanks all

Gonna try my best to look after this kit, beige is not the most practical colour.

Got bored of the stripes-went to a few mini shows and saw about 15 other tahiti blue coopers so thought I'd be different!

Bert998 is retroretrims!

I know? Thats why I said he made me a new panel? I'm confused

[shedonwheels]

Next thing to do? maybe....



edit:10 inch lickle wheels
