Looks good,Steve..Glad to see you still have Mini bits available up there..Getting hard to find down here now,,along with a large percentage of other good ol English car parts that were used building rods in the last 40 years.. A lot of the old BMC bits and pieces were used,like the Mini/100/1300/landcrab stuff..Was cheap too..

Metalflake on ya dash....who woulda thought....

I know what you mean Robin, although there are people re popping them now. not as good quality though !!!

Whole car is gonna be Blue flake mate, just thought i would do a bigger tryout than the master cylinder i did.

Steve, when you say "...mini wiper system.." you mean one from an older Austin Mini as opposed to "mini" meaning small, right? If so I never knew the Mini had that type - very cool system.

Thanks mate, appreciate the comment.

Good choice. It adds a lot to the look of the car and will be a lot more dramatic once it is painted.

I thought the very same Lyn, cheers

Steve the trim will realy look great when the paint is on the car. ???? Is the hood on off center? scoop looks off to one side. I know you better than that, or was it the one who must be OBEYED that put you in a hurry

Church on Sunday !!! I don't think so Whip, the only church i go to is the pub !!! I ain't big on religion i'm afraid..

Steve the trim does set it off. Nice addition. Sometimes it's stuff like that, that gives a car the classic look.
