especially like the exhausts that has got to be a first but everything just works well together . top marks and keep it up

Check out Camp Freddys car, he had the side exit ages
Dirk your car looks great, and the paint is the best bit considering how you had to paint it :)

:) im restoring my mini from the small pay i get from working but im going to make it mine, not copying any other cars.
a car should be ones own as it can show their personality.
some of the cars i see on the road all look the same but when i see minis, each one is to there own.
i've read a lot of the projects on here and it gives me more passion for the car's, ive slowly built an idea of how i want mine to look like but unfortunately i don't have the resources to do so, but i shall finish it to the best of my ability :P
regards
joe

got my dash primed, very pleased how it looks.
i'm going to paint it in contrasting colours, metallic black, polaris silver (same as the stripes) and green. think i'll have the main part in black, the dash top silver and clock panel in green.
