I'll use one of them in the future if I need any more supplies!

Not a whole lot of progress as I was busy with other things (secured a 3 month placement with a studio in Leicester!)

And I've almost moved into the other garage so managed to give her some fresh air & she got caught in an unexpected bit of rain!



Rear is sitting far too low! Looks cool but so impractical!

Looks like she's covered in whipped cream

There is progress going on, just not on top of taking photos at the moment.

But a video to show one of the jobs I did.. well.. half did today!

Not as amazing as the door shut video, but not bad.

I really enjoy reading your updates, your building a really amazing mini there! just one little niggle! When you have gone to such attention to detail, why use the blue crimp terminals? I have worked and specialised in auto electrics for around 12 years now and hate to see those crimp connectors. I use auto sparks as they supply original equipment terminals. For example, spade terminals with black covers C219/C220. You'll need a crimp tool for non insulated terminals such as auto sparks AST2 crimper, but I gaurantee you'll be smiling when you see the factory style results you get! Anyway, keep the updates coming and I hope to see this out and about when your done, as your not that far away from me.

Oh I know, it pains me.. I even colour coordinate my socks & my boxers so it does feel wrong using blue terminals.

I think for now they'll do, once I know the electrics are faultless and are all working as they should be, I'll then go round and swap bits for the original terminals from Auto Sparks.

Looking forward to more video updates! :)

Looking good mate you have been hard at it, its been 4 months since i loged in on here and i lot has gone on.

Keep up the good work.

[analogue_radio]

Cheers thank you mate!

I'm currently in Sheffield at a placement but have come back for the weekend to sort through all my spare parts as I'm hoping to sell them all as a job lot, both to free up a lot of spare and also create some money to fund the last leg of the project.

[DugganC17]

Been following this for quite a while and looks great nice job can't wait to see it finished

[afrance94]

this is a great mini love the updates, love the attention to detail, whens the next update?

[analogue_radio]

Yeah here's a little update!

Just more work on getting the electrics in place & doing all the odd jobs I can until I need to place another Mini Spares order.



Parts I pulled out of the spares lot that I need.



Broken down, cleaned & Ku-rusted.



Etched.



Sprayed. Bad photo.. black on black.



Coming together!

Heater works and feels really efficient, obviously not blowing out hot air yet.

Finish mine when you have time Luke? I never get much time to work on Elliot of late .

Progress is looking good, so looking forward to when mine is eventually in paint.
