    Decided to put her build thread in here, lemme know if its out of order or in the way or something. When more stuff actually happens i'll show her to the rest of the world.

    as she stands:


    shop by sCrapp (thanks!):



    Plans:
    -Lower - http://morrisminorowners.co.uk/sutra9588.php
    - get claws on some lowering blocks or consult the father for a spot of relocation.
    -Wheels repaint (red.)
    -Thinking PATINA. Go the VW route. Just... leave it.
    (if i were offered a full respray though, I'd take it hands down, keep 'er white.)
    -Get some polish on that chrome, maaan. Polish is good.

    "i'd also like to unbolt the wings, cut the tabs and weld them back on, and if the need arises with new wheels, bring them out a bit (flare, not widen the whole thing)
    also got a boot rack for christmas."
    "considering cutting the bumpers so they'd fit closer to the body"
    "interior needs new carpet, but i wanna keep all my junk - got a bauble, lightsaber, metal chicken silhouette and a million air fresheners hanging from middle mirror and a load of beanie babies on the parcel shelf. wanna upgrade sound system - we're running a kenwood with some speakers i got out of an old rangerover at the moment!"
    "hmm. could just copy EXACTLY what beetle owners do, and make an almost joke out of it - already got a haynes beetle air freshener and constantly have to tell people that, no, this car is not a beetle. "

      been on the road since 27th may last year, passed her MOT same time I passed my test - had it for a few months before that though, paid £450 to a man who Did Not Want it any more.
      got dad to fit a new floor (and brakes and sills and all moving parts on the engine and rubber bushes and everything), passed her MOT, and off we go!

      did actually have another before her.. kawasaki green 2 door that needed all the work in the world done to it. have since signed that over to dad as a personal project/spares car.

        Do you reckon you could get some crazy camber like the Bugs naturally do?

          hmm, no idea.. how do the bugs get it naturally? i know theyre torsion at the rear as well, whereas i get leafs.
          either way, naturally or not, pretty sure some camber is in order.

                  what red?

                  red oxide

                  bright hot rod style red? ohh then you could get metal, uncomfortable hot rod seats, bit of fading pin striping on one of the front wings.

                    i looove pinstriping, so i think she'll be having some anyway, as for the seats, i'm sticking with my lovely comfy pleather ones!
                    and BMW Red is the name on the can.

                        vectoring the pinstriping now, got a friend who does stickers. can settle for vinyl until I can do/afford the real deal. She's called Rose, so will aim for some kind of Rose motif.



                        sending this to him tomorrow for printing, might get multiples to sell.

                            its a skull of a canine - most like a coyote, but can pass as a wolf or a dog <:
