looks like a good shell, no nasty holes cut where you dont want em, i had to fill quite a few of mine....

Haha, its been my favorite grill for a long time. Yours definately swayed it for me though.

I don't think any other grill would look quite right without a mostache.

I have a couple of problem areas at the front but they shouldn't be to hard to sort out!

I presume you got the doors from arc angels. What are the inside bottoms like? do they still look as if the door has just been chopped and butt welded with a piece of metal or does the door card inlay part carry on round rather than getting cut off? I was going to buy some fibreglass doors but i want winders. Oh well i'm having my doors dipped and e coated anyway:). Good update though i can definitely appreciate it as doors are such a big part on a minus

yer agreed...

i put some black foam door insulation strip behind my grill, it was self adhesive so i stuck it to the grill, and so the foam meant the grill 'sealed' onto the front, plus, then it didn't scratch the paint...

So a more classic colour nice. I'm not having a classic colour just because it won't go with all the stuff to go on! I'm actually in the middle of designing a vinyl badge for the bonnet. I'm not sure i want to post pictures up though as i want it to be unique!

Yea, i much prefer the classic racer look, low, 10inch wheels and simple mods.

Ha ha almost back seat at the moment really due to uni. In two weeks time i will be freed up a little so want to do a few things then like trial fit my new beam and make the bulge for my bonnet and stuff. What about your steps to a Q?
Regards Blue

[jonny f]

Yea sounds like a good plan. I think my bonnet will be one of the last things I do. I would imagine it will be a mass of bulges!

what you are you doing your apprenticeship in? I did think promotive kit but i know i can nock up a 2.0L Vauxhall engine subframe for a hell of a lot less money! I really want to start trial fitting things and re skin and hang the doors. Also fit my boot lid and fibreglass the internal hinges on to it. Well i think we can have a race to who puts their minus together first and register it Regards Blue

[jonny f]

Engineering, electrical/electronic with a bit of mechanical as well. I work on the new shuttle between terminals at gatwick, pretty interesting.

I think that would be quite a fair race really! Although my shell has never really been started so im a bit behind in that respect. I have all my stuff built up but its just in a different shell.

[tedmcedd]

if only i had some time and money to get on with my minus again... looks like i may be keeping it as it hasnt sold... you two are making me want to take it all apart and start again!!
