Thanks mate  taken a solid 8 years to get to this point.

I did a little more today - put some covering on the wheel arches and put the card in :

What is the black square on the door shelf?

It's where a speaker was fitted when I got the car. I've left them in because holes were drilled into the door pocket. It doesn't look bad I think.

Oh right, that makes sense. Better than having holes in the pockets

Well I was itching to see what the interior might look like, so I put the rear seat in :

 

 

It probably won't be liked by everyone, but I love it. Everything is all tied togther - white roof and headlining, grey carpets and white and grey seats. Perfect.

 

Also, before fitting the seat, I put the blanking plate back in. I sprayed the rear of it black (there was light blue overspray) and left the front section painted light blue. I did this to keep a piece of the car as I got it way back in 2007. It won't be seen, but I'll know it's there. I also used a white marker and signed my name and the year there as well.

 

 

Not the best pictures because of the sunset, but you can still see I suppose. Also placed a small order with Minispares for a couple things I need.

Thanks mate  The roof was a mission, but I think I had some luck with it too. I'm trying to do as much as I can while I can.

Nice work with the seats, again they fit the theme of the car very well. I was wondering, does the gear lever get covered or does it stay exposed and was that standard on minis?

[Jared Mk3]

The gear lever has a gaiter at the bottom made of rubber that covers the exposed section. The handbrake was fully exposed, but can be covered.

Thanks man  They were recovered in the '90s by the previous owner. I think they've stood up well and suit the car nicely.

 

I was really curious to see what the interior will look like with all the seats in :

 

 

I like it. Comfort and safety for the driver; the passengers will just have to deal with it ;)

I WANT THAT SEAT!!!!!! Those are cobra classics right? One of the guys here has them. Looks super sweet, now to get on the racetrack :)

[Jared Mk3]

That's the one, yes. Costs an arm and a leg out here though.

I've been asked a couple times now as to what my dash area will look like. Well, I mocked things up today. The RHS unit will stick out quite far and face the driver directly. The LHS unit will be angled to allow the driver to reach anything a little bit easier. Like so :

 

 

I also put a small extinguisher in, in case I need it (touch wood I don't) :

 

 

Lastly, I put both seatbelts in. It's not the best picture, as it was getting dark, but really, it's only a seatbelt :
