This picture says it all - love it! Nice one on the roof lining. It certainly makes a difference.

Haha thanks man, I know not many like 13s as they can look strange on some setups so it means a lot

That looks really smart.

 

I love how much the wheels fill the arches

I have to admit the end result looks pretty good. Nicely done.

Thanks!

It's not quite done yet, got a few more upgrades in the work which should add some subtle touches

Just read the entire thread. I'm so jealous of your car. It's stunning!
Well done on managing to stance a mini :)

Uni has certainly made it difficult to do stuff on this so the only changes has been that it has got through its MOT (first time!!!) and I've had a few bits on the bodywork done which I had been wanting to get done for a while.

I've had the bonnet de-badged, the chrome taken off from behind the door handles, the chrome strips taken off the sills and the sills sprayed red.

As far as rust went, there wasn't much which was a big bonus! There were a few patches on the floor plan but they have been all welded up and it's now safe for a another couple of years!

Enjoy the photos:

And you may have spotted my new daily project in the background...an '89 caddy. As you can probably guess this is also going to be slammed on the floor but with some steelies this time

The air ride will be coming at some point as I now have most of the parts, I have just struggled with the company so it's going to have to wait until May to be installed. I am aiming to have it all installed and ready for players classic 2016 and I'm not going to accept otherwise. So people, you better prepare yourselves for show season 2016!

Looks really slick - good job!
Personally I'd straighten your rear foglight as it's the only thing that catches the eye.
keep up the good work

The number plate is wonkey too, I try to tell myself it's adding character but in all honesty I'm just too lazy to fix those little bits right now
