Too late, it already has caught on! The last pic looks like the roof has been "sticker bombed".

Awh that's turned out an absolute gem of a mini. Spots look well on it. Don't think I'd add anything or take anything from it, It just looks perfect :)

Car looks very tasty, Dad still doing good work.
Paul Mc Naughton might do the Ace plates, he's only in The Naul. Think he goes under classic autojumbler.

So today I worked on getting the interior together. I got some vinyl from Newton Commercial for the dash rail and sides and sourced some Silent Coat for the floor and various places just to keep the sound down plus some precursor sound deadening wadding and a new black carpet all of which I picked up at the Causeway Coast Mini Show this August.

So pics:

Image
Silent Coat in place and Wadding going in.

Image
Pre cut wadding in place.

Image
New Carpet in place. Great quality with all the extra bits for the sides included.

Image
Rear Seat in place and new rear door cards in. Reminds me, must re-route speaker cable.

Image
Almost finished. Just need to pop in cooper ashtray, Chrome air vent pieces, padding for bulkhead, make a new parcel shelf and place in dash covering I got from Optimise Automotive.

Got a lovely new Steering wheel

And here's a sneaky close up with the spotlight covers.

Not long now!
