great tom keep it up

[Tomf]

I also recived some etch primer and high build primer

The Carbon fibre looks awesome. Might have to do my arches for a racier look.

[Tomf]

Well some parts have come through:D

I got:

My re-furbished MK2 fiesta calipers though
Satnav that works throught europe
lacqure
Custom made engine number

As for progress i havent really made much yet lol, as soon as i got the diff i did go and fit that to the engien though, so that is now ready to be fitted

The last time i will see it in a long time hopefully haha




I then got the diff cover on and spaced the diff out.

I then went back and checked the bonnet and the lacqure had fully absorbed and hardened.



i then popped out this morning and gave the bonnet another coat of resin and this is the resuly, i think ill give it one more layer and then it will be ready for flatting back and then ill lacqure it.




Here is the custom made engine tag, reading Rolling Snot - 1380



And here is my satnave



Lol at look at the tag, its designed for a classic mini haha (A series car navigator) haha

where did you get the engine number plate done?

[Tomf]

orchard-engineering on here made it for me, linky to his profile

It cost me £13 posted... Im prety pleased with it as i have never seen anything like this done before, he can also do other bits like rockers covers.

How much you planning to sell your megajolt set up for? well mainly the triger wheel mounted on the pully, the sensor bracket and the megajolt itself?

[joe_m]

[joe_m]

sorry, but im not sure as i already had the resin...

do i need a spesial c/f one or.....?

and what u think a black mini with all c/f bits ( i.e. bonet wheel arches boot skin mirrors ect ) would look like ?

[Tomf]

Yea just normal resin/hardener

Yea it looks good, check out "The Matt" project as he has a black mini with Carbon fiber boot, he did have a CF bonnet at some point aswell...
