Now we're talking about deals, here's one...


I can swap my; 2 Coca-Cola Bottles (one full and one nearly empty), 6 smokes left of the finest tobacco (Lambert and Butler), Half eaten Cheese & Ham sandwich (made by me bowtie) and a melted Mars Bar (un-opened from a 4 bar pack). I estimate the true value of these 5 delightfull items to be in the region of 3 Evo's worth.

Deal? yes


ETA: 5 Smokes now left.

I dont doubt it, its truely stunning.
i have a soft spot for the mini, ive had a couple myself and always wanted to do a similar conversion to my 1275gt but decided to sell it once my first daughter came along.
I could never part with my evo anyway way too much graft gone into it plus id never find another like it condition wise.

Bet the mini goes well though wink

Love the workmanship of this, everything looks great... except the engine sticking out the bonnet. I know why it's been done, but it just looks a bit odd to me. I would have probably gone for a more subtle hump (and no doubt many many cooling issues) to make it more of a sleeper.

Cheers for the comments guys
Problem with a Bump is that the bump would have gone onto the wing aswell as the bonnet then with a gap down it for the bonnet to open it looks very very strange.
Some have been done like this with a 90mm extended front( Looks like a Mini Limo) and we were not fans of that so hence why the challenge was set to get it into a Standard length round nose.

Oh I agree, and I'm not asking you to defend it. I'm sure it was a pain to keep it standard length.

No probs just explaining as having seen some of the other ways of doing it it was the best by far
