That looks brilliant Freddy, really sets the car off nicely with the black detail you have already got on. I especially like th detail to protect the distributor. Top Job :thumbsup:

Grill looks brilliant. I like the idea of a built in weather guard.

fitted the door cards today, i'll stick some pictures up tomorrow, also had a look at fitting
the rear brake drums, but there is quite a large ridge on the edge which needs grinding
off as it interferes with the drum fit up. too cold today to mess about so I re-fitted the
old drums...

I ordered my orange diaphram and turbo clutch plate from
Mini spares Yesterday should have been £61.56 but got
them for £56.95 with the TMF+ discount.... >_< :thumbsup:

Thought i'd beeter get them before the VAT increase...

Don't like how Minispares add on carriage then put the VAT on
afterwards :thumbsup:

Love it. Pretty sure i've already commented on this at some point, but still, love it.

Wonder how that style of grill would look on a standard mini?? I reeaally don't like mine, with the chunky end bits, and the chrome strip on the bonnet that never sits straight...

Beautiful car. :thumbsup:
