[CLUBMANGT]

Armo I think it would be hard to take as long as mine is

[CLUBMANGT]

Engine bay ,all underneath and roof now painted (roof is black)so its on to the interior next

[CLUBMANGT]

A small update with some pics

Preped the interior for a repaint

And shot some paint

Etch primed a aload of small parts

And shot some black

Drilled and mounted the bumper bars

Then I stripped them and painted them

Mounted the front frame and started to run the cables

Thats it for now

[BERT]

You'd think youve painted a mini before !looking great!

[macker]

somebodies been a busy boy!!

great work Tony!
It's getting close now, bet you can't wait for this to be finished

[CLUBMANGT]

Yea I have been bringing parts to work a getting this and that done when I get time , I need to use all the time that I can . I picked up more paint to be on the safe side when I shoot the body , and I will be picking up a new gun today. I hope to have the body ready in the next week or so (I cant bring that to work) so on we go I will keep up the posts as I go

[Ciotog]

Looks amazing man. Love the gold frames. I was gonna just shoot mine with black but having seen yours think I might go with a nice red to match the final colour of the car.

[Kenneth Murphy]

MTM this year Tony???

[CLUBMANGT]

OOH I would like to think so Kenny but that would be a long shot

[kerryminigringo]

Starting to come together Tony although I am not sure the white sills will catch on.

[Kenneth Murphy]

Hurry up, see you there my pickup is goin for paint next month so ur closer than me,

[CLUBMANGT]

Yea boss I must get that stonechip sorted Kenny I can,t see mine getting there before yours

[dayoungfella]

I like where this is going Tony...keep it up!

[CLUBMANGT]

Nice to catch up with you yesterday Neil , the car looks great but stop messing about on those mountain bikes and get her back on her wheels yea

[CLUBMANGT]

Just a small update . Fitted the impact bars into the doors. That was a fun job

And trial fitted the doors on the shell

A word to the wise, dont weld on A panels without the doors fitted passenger side is not to bad, drivers side needs a little work . To make matters worse these doors are reskined and not off this car

[CLUBMANGT]

I had Rob the welder up on monday to sort out my door gaps. We went for a 5mm gap as per the rest of the door . He marked it out and cut the A panel less 2mm . Then he welded it back up , took a line at 5mm from the door and cut down the weld to give the 5mm gap . I only have to dress it back and give it a light skim of filler job oxo sweet

[tintin]

hi can you take photos of when ur fitting the brake pipes again please . i bought a mini but the fella before me had thebmini striped so im trying to figure out where every thing goes now

[CLUBMANGT]

Do you mean along under the floor or in the engine bay

[maverick]

Looks great so far!
