Drop the roof rack
Or maybe paint it red?


Is it a coincidence that mini and money start with the same letter? 'cause if you have the first you sure better have lots of the other

I'm happy with the end result! It looks so good that I'm thinking of not re shelling it!!! But it has to be put into my new 1980 clubby!!!! So I'm going to slowly rebuild the other one and enjoy this beautiful car to its full potential ;) hope u guys enjoyed this build as much as I have! I haven't done all the work but I did some of it and I'm proud of that but a huge thank you goes to my brother! His patience and work is unbelievable and I'm so lucky to have him! He's great but anywho :) my cars Awsome haha lol
