Yeah and then interior next. Retro is the look in after. Exhaust may change in time. Seats are going in favour of Cobra Classics.

Very cool car.

I am still trying to decide whether to do front spots and a reverse light like yours.

The older mins are definitely the coolest look.

Very nice looking mini mate! Good Job by you, your dad and your brother!

So today I worked on getting the interior together. I got some vinyl from Newton Commercial for the dash rail and sides and sourced some Silent Coat for the floor and various places just to keep the sound down plus some precursor sound deadening wadding and a new black carpet all of which I picked up at the Causeway Coast Mini Show this August.

So pics:


Silent Coat in place and Wadding going in.


Pre cut wadding in place.


New Carpet in place. Great quality with all the extra bits for the sides included.


Rear Seat in place and new rear door cards in. Reminds me, must re-route speaker cable.


Almost finished. Just need to pop in cooper ashtray, Chrome air vent pieces, padding for bulkhead, make a new parcel shelf and place in dash covering I got from Optimise Automotive.

Got a lovely new Steering wheel


And here's a sneaky close up with the spotlight covers.


Not long now!
