Very pretty! I am considering the Cobra Classic RS seats for mine. Do they fit well? It looked like they may be slightly larger than the regular Classic.

Thanks!

i havent been on here to update in a while. the RS's are really comfy but they do sit fairly high. i have had to mount them behind the floor rail which is fine as i like the low/back look, but not so good for rear seat room.

Yesterday i had a go at putting the front and rear windscreens back in, and it was much easier than i expected. luckily i had the tool for the locking strip.

What? Where's the rust?! Going by that front panel it looks original too.

I'd LOVE to have a shell like that!

 

you have to remember that most minis in austrailia and new zealand are in great condition because salt is not used on the roads, so the rust problem is nowhere near as bad as you fullas have in the uk, 90% of people in new zealand live withen 40km from the sea so we have a bit more rust than austrailia due to salt air

i love those wheels what sort are they? 

[jamesmpi]

Excellent. Great looking mini

[MrFail]

Thanks alot for all the kind words everyone. I am very happy with how it has turned out.
The wheels are just contessas that I stripped and painted with some shadow chrome 2pack. Normally you use a black ground coat underneath, but I used a very light grey. It makes them brighter.

There are still a few things to finish like wiring and exhaust . I actually have a slightly different plan for the exhaust style too.
That is what I really love about it. It has lots of little things that make it a bit unique, without being too "disrespectful" to it.
