Thanks   It's taken a long time to get here.

Well, at long last the rooflining is done! :

 

 

I fitted the interior light as well, along with the door rubbers, window rubbers and quarter windows. Both windscreens are in, but the locking strip will be put in tomorrow. I'm happy to say that there are almost no creases as well.

 

Both door scuff plates are now in as well :

I hit a major milestone today. The windows are now in and the locking strips too :

 

 

 

And she now looks more like a car :

 

 

Just a shot of the two cars together :

 

 

My brother pointed something out to me today. The profile of my door handle is different to those used on the other internal hinge doors :

I really like this view of the car, especially since it has the chrome around all windows :

 

 

Just the right amount of poke at the back :

Looking really good now Jared. 

 

Your right about the chrome, just defines the door nicely, rather than the clubman with just the window strip, door kinda gets lost compared to how the rear quarter window stands out.

Thanks Colin 

 

It's one of the reasons I like your car - there's chrome around all windows. I think the really dark colours like mine it really stands out nicely.

I decided to fit the door card before work, with all the handles and pocket. You can also see the rear view mirror in this picture :

 

 

With the door open :

 

 

I must say, even with the new door rubbers, it still closes with a confident 'clunk' and with the lightest of touch (my brother helped with this). 

 

And, just because I can and because there's lovely sunshine :

Those door cards look sweet. Fit the blue and white theme of the car.

Making the folks in the UK jealous with more pictures of the shiny mini in the lovely SA sunshine ;)
