Love it. Love the bodykit, decals, and even the rear lights!

Spoiler looks out of place still, but doesn't ruin the whole car.

Props for sticking at it.

Well a little progress:

-Rear quarter is now painted
-Rear end has been raised up to a realistic ride height
-A little progress has been made on the door openers(little meaning that I actually found the instructions and know how to do it)
-Front number plate mounted
-New bonnet straps purchased(didn't like how the old ones sat)

This weekends jobs will probably be:
-mounting rear numberplate and light
-Re-fitting seatbelts
-possibly fit bonnet straps
-Make a start on the door poppers

[AdamBilsy]

Well not much progress has been made recently, been stupidly busy with college work and other stuff.

Got around to:
Fitting the numberplates
Numberplate Light
Wiring up the drivers side Door Popper
Re-wired the rear lights because I wasn't happy with them.

Just finished college for the summer, So I should be able to crack on and finally get it on the road.

That fact that its now and paint that you've also stuck it on tens has improved this loads.

Still not to my liking but it does look much better than when you first got it

[AdamBilsy]

Not really updated this for ages because most of the last little jobs didn't have anything to show.

It went for its MOT today, and failed(which I was expecting if im honest)

-Front headlights not working
-wipers not working
-washers not working
-front discs surface rust on rear
-needs a small bit of welding on the boot floor

and finally the emissions were bad:
6.52% CO (should be less than 4.5%)
5077 HC (should be less than 1200)

Well it passed its MOT, going to give it a quick run around town this week then off to Coventry 4AM saturday morning to have the Stickers re-fitted, then onto Santapod for MITP on sunday.

[MiniLandy]

This is gonna be at Santa Pod too??

Awesome. Should be a good day

Congrats on the MOT!

[AdamBilsy]

Yup it'll be at santapod.

it turned out that all the electrical problems were due to a dodgy ignition barrel.

[DaveVader]

Fsckin ace! Can't wait to see this in the flesh! It's refreshing to see something different (and oh so different) on the mini scene.
It may not be for everyone but well done for sticking at it! You've personalised something and done it damn well! 'Grats on the MOT too.

[AdamBilsy]

Well its been a pretty disasterous week. Was meant to be driving upto coventry tommorow morning to have the stickers fitted, which has now had to be canceled along with MITP.

Car developed an oil leak and lost reverse gear, So I arranged to trailer it up instead, just getting ready to go and collect the trailer and managed to drive over and destroy the car bonnet while it was on the floor.

[DaveVader]

Oh No!
Dude, I feel for you!
That's a real shame. Hope you can get it sorted.
Gutted I won't get to see it at MitP!

[AdamBilsy]

ye, it sucks that it happened today, if it was yesterday I might have been able to rush and get the bonnet reshaped,filled and painted and still get to santapod.

but i'll get it done and I guess you'll have to wait til the next show to see it.

[AdamBilsy]

Forgot about this on here... Anyway, some new Pictures.








Still a few Little bits to do here and there but its at a stage i'm happy with.

Now that the Stickers are on I want to fit a pressed van grille on the front, do something with the wheels(not sure what exactly) and get rid of the Digital dash and replace it with an oval Centre Binacle.

oh and There is a matching trailer in the pipeline, so Will have to fit a towbar.

I love the graphics on this but if it was mine I'd definitely stick it on 13s.

Something needs to be done with the Wheels, Still looking at different options.
