and wired everything up and got them all working with new bulbs

that'll be good if you can use it bud i'm glad i spent the extra money on getting a professional paint job rather than doing it myself

hi all, small update from tonight. fitted the wiper plinths, aerial and adjusted the bonnet - the fit is still really good we also spent ages tidying up the wiring loom in the engine bay and cutting out and replacing worn out bullet connectors with heat shrink connectors...we really want the mini to be as reliable as possible



just about my favourite picture so far

If I can get mine built up as quickly as you are doing yours I might make goodwood next week! I will have a day 9-5 to completely build up exterior and some interior, give it a polish and then a drive

But yours is looking excellent! get that grill on and she will look a beauty!
