I'm in a real dilemna at the moment - after watching life on mars yesterday, it's made things worse.
I seem to be veering more and more to the modernish route with retro touches, and then i though.. No i want full out retro again!

Hard decisions this end..

Yup, and you can get cubs with headrests!. Anyway, I'm back everyone! Malta was good but my ipod went missing .
Holiday has given me time to think unfortunately... After too many reads of minimag i've been toying with the idea of many things, watch this space...

Yeah you can... but i worry about whiplash . Don't ask why...

I'm doing my other one so that i can slow down with this one (It's not like im slow enough already) but im always fretting that im not going to get it done in time because a lot i have planned for this is expensive . Thus I'm going to do my other mini so that i know ill have one at 17 if this isn't done in time.

I wouldnt worry too much about using the cheaper pattern panels, so long as you get them to fit and do the work properly it should last just as long as a normal part to be honest, im not looking forward to starting mine but it will be fun to get ti started, im going to have a crack and take the arches off next week ends and have a propper look, then ill start my own thread on here.

Still it looks like your getting somewhere, and i dont know how you manage your time between this and School stuff - good on you and keep up the hard work mate
