I was going to recommend some carbon floor panels for the front foot wells.

 

Curley sell them and i think so do minisport. Might be worthwhile having them especially during spirited driving

Good idea I'll have a chat with Jack otherwise there'll be tears if it get scratched

by the way I've got the bonnet spring so I'll get it posted tomorrow and also taken the bonnet lip trim off so will bring it down when I bring the midget which may not be next Friday as Jack isn't around so need to look at dates
Cheers

Might be a week or so before i can do that, need to get it built up before i can get it outside.

ooh it's so shiny

 

looking good with the black roof - great job Ben and Colin

I'd be scared to drive this on the road let alone the track incase it got damaged. Great work and great progress.

um - the mini is much better than we could have hoped for, Ben and Colin are doing a great job

 

Apparently this isn't a concours car according to Ben - it looks pretty bloody good to me

but only if it's driven on red carpet 

[Ben_O]

It needs to be used and enjoyed.

 

If it get's damaged or scratched, then it can be sorted out easily enough

 

I really hope that Darren and Jack do enjoy the car when finished.

 

Cheers

"Then out with the stonechip, i started by laying down a heavy coat over all seams"

 

Ben, how did you apply the stonechip to the seams?

 

What product did you use?

We just use a very cheap, very basic shultz gun 

 

 

You simply don't need an expensive one, it's what you do with it that counts.

 

And this is the stonechip

 

 

It has excellent build qualities, goes on very well with a nice even wet finish and is just the best one we have used and we have tried them all.
