Lost this thread in the mix. Question for you all: is the MINI worthy of wearing a "StanceWorks" sticker yet?
Stuff's happened since the last post. Here's the latest update:
My passenger rear coil strut was sheared through two weeks ago, and I only just now had time to get it up and order the replacement bits. I've got new struts and bushings on the way, so the car should be sitting nice for a show I'm attending Sunday.
Also fabbed up a custom grille last weekend, although I'm not quite happy with the fit yet. Gotta figure out how to glue down or bolt down the chrome surround, a better way to keep the mesh in (using double sided stick tape - ghetto, I know...), and need to cut a new upper mesh piece as the first version isn't even close to fitting properly.
Lastly, I'm working on some custom center caps for the Keskins. I don't like the current ones - they look too "American Racing" style for me. I'm gonna mod some OEM MINI caps to fit. Should be cool when it's done.
All in all, I'm happy with where this is going.
How the car's sitting until the new struts come in:
The "ghetto grille." Good from far...
Far from good. Recutting the upper mesh this week.
As always, comments, questions, suggestions, and constructive criticism is/are welcomed!
