so i just recived my new bottle of gas today so i got cracking on with my roll cage spreader plates piccys

 

best pic i could get of the plates before my camera ran out of charge

 

 

now i just have to drill out the holes and bolt the cage in then i can get it back on the jig for the bottom to be cleaned, stonechipped and then painted then i move onto the boot and then the engine bay then subframes build them up and finally the inside of the car then it is on to the bodywork filling priming and getting gaps tight

Just read ya thread. Quality work.    Have you de seamed the rear too? What colour you going for? Or is that to be revealed?

[minimk1]

thank you and yes i have de-seamed  the rear of the mini for that racer look also compared to my dads i think it makes the car look wider, and a bonus is that i don't have to buy an expensive rear bumper and overiders  and there will be no 3 layer rust sandwich, also the colour is no secret its going to be the original inca yellow with a gloss black roof, I'm back to sixth form on thursday so progress may become slow again as the start of term always means a shed load of great  coursework and revision yaaay so the weekends will be the only mini time available for another 6 weeks but hey ho a year left to go but i reckon i can get it ready for my 17th and then test it to the max with the 2015 imm in Lithuania which is about a month after i pass my test whoop whoop looking forward to it already

Tidy! Haha, yeah, I'm going to have to fork out for new bumpers soon.   I'm planning to get mine done for my 17th too. Would like to go on an imm at some point in the near future. See how far I get before I blow something up Nice colour scheme too. I do love glossy colours

I'd be able to go at that! Looks pretty cool. Would have to make a detour to the Nurburgring on the way there though   And I want to pass my test asap. I need to be on the road soon or I'll go crazy having to ride a bike for much longer.

[minimk1]

hahaha yeah im going on one of those crash course tests which means you pass alot faster and the imm sounds like a plan, it would be rude not to visit the nuriburg ring
