Ace. Can't wait to see it done. Your car really makes me want to replace my FG frontend with a metal one.. looks so much tidier!

[Pixel-Snapper]

Sure is going to be an exciting colour Russell.

I've just sat and read the whole thread from the start, what can I say but wow.

I really can't wait to see this finished.

[RussellG]

hellfire.....even i'm getting excited now russell

have to say mate, workmanship is a credit to you

[RussellG]

Thanks.

I can't wait to see the shell when it's all done in primer.

[OneDs]

Nor can I!! I thought the brightwork update yesterday was it and felt a bit deflated when it wasn't a bright blue newly painted shell, cracking work btw.

[RussellG]

No exciting new picture yet but should have a few shots of the shell in primer in a few days time.

After a bad few days with my Mini and discovering that it needs a lot more work than I was expecting, I feel motivated to carry on and do it properly having read through your project. Good work!!!
I wish you were my next-door neighbour as I don't have such skills! Haha.
Cheers

I remember well getting that kit delivered, must be best part of 15 years ago now, but still one of the perfect finishing touches.

It's from mini spares its the budget kit. They claim that the more expensive kit they sell is a much higher quality but its only a 6 piece kit. Quality of this one looks fine to me anyway

[RussellG]

A quick update then Im off to the pub everyone.
