Ok, not bumped this up for a while, so Hi again!
Not a lot has happened with the Pickup. Awaiting bro to respray it (3 weeks past when he said he would... ) Got the new interior from Retro Retrims, which looks awesome, got my Cooper S brakes, got a new wiring loom and got some W&P arches.
I've found a surprise hole (like always...) by the front shocker mount. Only one so far, so I haven't done too bad there. Is quite a large hole, so time for new shocker mount I think, after welding up the hole.
Got a rear window too atlast! Tripped over it (not literally) by accident. Was a case of "You don't happen to have a Pickup rear window do you?" "As a matter of fact, yes I do." *Big smile on my face*

Nice build, ive always dreamt after a van, but since Minus have brought out the fibre glass pick up, im very tempted once im working for a while or wait for my inheritance. Either way ive already go ahead of my self and already have sme ideas!

Im catching you This is my 4th (Others wernt destine for the road - ended on the track )

[mini-man-dan]

Ah is that were your name comes from!? Grasser were you? I did oval for a year and half, and sold up to pay for the road Mini, oh and then the other road Mini, oh yh then the Pickup, and not forgetting the shorty!
Must stop now, got to sell the shorty and finish the pickup.
Maybe...

17th Birthday

Just found THESE which I'd like to put instead of the normal guages, to go along with the digi-dash. So no dials can be read until the ignition is on
Want to try and keep all mods inside as subtle as possible. Don't want to turn it into an ultimate chav mobil!

Had a chat with a guy from Arc Angels yesterday about carbon fibre bits. I was going to go all chrome, but seeing their CF bits I kinda changed my mind!
I might go for CF bumpers front and back, with CF overriders on the front, although they don't make the rear ones & overriders yet but the chap said aslong as I give him metal ones he'd be able to replicate them.
Their CF products seem such great quality, a bit priceier than other but I think it'd be worth it.

Prep for respray is happening at the moment, it should be sprayed by the end of the week

Managed to find a set of 10x6 cosmics! Picked them up earlier, ebay bargain at £102! They have got tyres but they will be replaced by the a008s i've got.
