            Thanks guys! Appreciate all your kind words.







            Update!

            Had the whole weekend off work so got some odds and ends done on the project.

            First up was gluing the front of the headlining in place with help from my mum. Leaving it for a few days to properly set and grip.

            Then I got round to sorting a cross threaded brake union. Bought a flaring tool and lots of spare unions just incase I need to do more in the future on my fleet of cars.

            Then with the help of my dad the brakes were bled using the tried and tested Gunson Eezibleed kit. Brilliant system!

            I also made some adjustable height brackets from scratch for mounting the plate. The plate can be moved up or down about 1-2cm each way which will be good for MOT day Im sure! Properly happy with the look of it as it hides the quite large back box perfectly.



            Its held to the brackets by my LED plate bolts. Very clever idea!



            Also got my tinted non opening rear windows brand new from P&L Minis. So thats my set complete!



            And a special shout out to my mum for making this rear seat!



            Fully homemade in vinyl and fake suede with diamond stitching. It looks AWESOME!



            Next up is finishing off the tank, installing it after I work out a practical way of mounting it and then try and finally tackle the electrics to fire the beast into life for the first time!

            • All the stitching is coming out so well! Great job on everything.

              • Got a day off on Monday so going to try and get more work done on the car then. Electrics is obviously top of the list! Plus windows are ready to go in almost once we have done the headlining sides.


                I also just bought this to replace my daily driver VW Polo.......thankfully Im not needing any parts spending on the Mini anyway at the moment as it has emptied my pocket! 98 Spec Japanese Import Honda Integra Type R in mint condition. Chuffed!










                Getting it trailered up sometime in the next two weeks hopefully as its in Reading!

                      Thanks guys its near perfect! Love it!!!


                      SO! Thus ends Integra chat and on with more Mini chat

                      Today fellow Mini Club memebr Brian came by to see if he could fix some electrics. Safe to say he did! I now have hazards, and both indicators working after numerous moments of head scratching and circuit testing and routing. They also work on the dash too! Now all we need to sort is headlight flash (dipped side and full are fine) and look at the foglight. Then the car will be ready for final fluids and starting

                      • Righto! Interior is almost completed! Mums been working hard on it and the effort shows in the final outcome! The front cards are done and now we just need to cut the holes for the door furniture. So some pics...

                        Took a lot of glueing and pegging to keep it all in place.





                        But it was all worth it!



                        and the cards along with the suede dash rails and rear seat



                        Happy chappy! Cant wait to get the rear cards done and get it all installed

                          • Well Ive got this weekend off work and with the new year comes a new motivation to get this thing finished! Acquired a boot popper from my mate Greig cheap. Simple solenoid controlled wire that will work perfectly with my existing boot catch mechanism. Just need to wire it in somewhere stealthy simple to wire up and saves me relying on the manual one I had planned to use!



                            (Obviously theres more wires than this switch.....)



                            Also looking to work out the electronic dizzy wiring. Done my research and seems easy enough!

                            • So ordered some more parts in the hope it will get me going with this again. Worked out a method of securing the tank in place so fingers crossed the parts work! Also ordered a genuine Rover boot seal to get the lid to close properly as the non gen item I have has a huge lip on it pushing the lid out. Got a weeks holiday coming up soon so hope to get cracking then

                              All that needs done is tank installed and plumbed in, electrics finalised, fluids and a key to turn it over and its pretty much done! Then its just cosmetic stuff like interior and windows :lol:

                              • New bits are always welcomed! Get them on Saturday hopefully! 5.5 Gallon Tank two piece strap and also the fixing bracket to bolt it to the floor. Hope it works but it seems to be slightly adjustable so fingers crossed! Also got a genuine boot seal too. Hope it helps the lid close better!



                                Will test fit the tank and repaint the strap to match. Stainless bolts throughout as expected too. Then need some fresh BP Ultimate in the tank
