Thanks both.

I had the lips machined on the CNC rig with Joe at Quick Silver. Love the work they did but now hate the faces - too mundane in comparison to the fresh lips so I’ll dismantle them to...

I’ve made some progress on the Mini with all this fine January weather we’ve been having.
-Changed out the rear rotors for larger drilled/slotted ones
- repainted the hood scoop to a better...

I’m on another forum where they have a similar limit - and rather than getting an error message when you try to upload something bigger, the sites backend simply scales down the image accordingly....

Hi Jerry,
I realize I’m not exactly answering the question but a little tip from me for those who like to host their images locally and are simply trying to solve for posting occasional images on...

Thanks Danny. Can’t get enough hatchback.

Update on the interior. These are the custom rear seats based on the front Sparcos. Hard to believe these are made from those original 2 tone cloth seats...

They did a really nice job on the front seats. Replaced some foam, fabric, logos and added seat heaters.

I’ve had some new logos embroidered for the seats because the ones on them are really worn out, as can be seen here....

That’s cool Scott. Sounds pretty fast! The TT is a rocket so if this is faster it must feel epic!

Drat! Sorry to hear about the date of the RSX. Too tip! Buy the Mini and tell her you’re storing it for a friend. (I’m storing quite a few cars for friends at home ;)

Yes I’m from Swansea. You?

Haha. Thanks buddy. I’ll be making this garage look a little nicer over winter.

I’ve found a couple of great pick-ups for the Mini recently. The first are OEM 2 piece BBS 17” R90 wheels. They...

looks so great Danny! I loved running in to you in the wild. It looks so fun. I lusted after a red with black leather interior (red I) back in 2004 that had been traded in to my local VW dealership...

As a fellow collectibles enthusiast, I fully support your cause! Best of luck my friend

Also - I appreciate how they’re doing this as a lottery rather than the usual bot ridden random time drop...

I always thought I'd want a white one too - they photograph really well. Until I saw one in the flesh recently and now I am cured of wanting to swap this for another one. Would be cool to have one...

Congratulations [emoji3060] that’s great news. Same here!
I’ve don’t think I’ve posted a picture in this thread before so here goes. I’ve had this one for a few years now and don’t know why I never...

Yeah that place loves their Minis. I’ve never seen anything older than a very late R56 though. Mostly 2015+ My interest dwindles after ‘06.

Thanks guys!
Keep your eyes peeled on those classifieds Jason (if you have any room in your stable) Clean R53s keep popping up. Not many JCW’s but still brilliant bases for some fun. Would love to...

Looks awesome. Great design on the black vinyl. You’ve got a good eye

Wow the RS4 almost looks small compared to the superfast.

phwooooooar!!! It’s been a while since this one has graced the site. Such a lovely, beautiful car.

The rear 2 piston brakes are on. They also needed different handbrake cables which I didn’t account for ahead of time....

What a gorgeous colour. Love the bright silver wheels on it too

Wow that new mirror is so much nicer!

Wow great spots there! Haven’t seen anything close to as good since last year!

Congrats Scott!

I’ve been stocking up on a few things. I’ve gone overboard but I think it’s worth it. We’ll see.

Alta adjustable...

Very cool. Looks great. Does it rattle at all when your driving? Hoping it sounds as sturdy as it looks.

I’m glad you agree with me because when I was 20%’if the way through the job I wished I haven’t started it. Just brutal!

I hit a new hood scoop to see if I can stuff more air in to the top mounted...

Cheers Rod! More to come :)

While I’m waiting I’ve added some after market rear grilles.

The OEM ones are missing (quite common that they were never applied at the dealer) and are stickers....

Congrats on the new ride

Ok so the rear suspension is toast. It’s fine and tolerable under normal driving but can be made to hit its own bump stops in the rear when hitting adventurous road while driving spiritedly. I might...

Gave the car a thorough clean and touched up some front end stone chips. Here she is...she’s missing a couple of items - OEM rear diffuser graphics, jcw interior door dolls and because she was...

Looks awesome in silver! Need a pic with the bike loaded though 😊

Thanks buddy. It’s been fun to work on it but as I go deeper, I’m getting some bad thoughts about investing more money in it. For now, I’ll see how clean I can make it for beer money.

I decided to...

Thanks buddy! Amazing the difference a set of clean headlights makes. It’s not perfect but 90% of the way there. My motto for this build is - “good enough” Unfortunately a brand new set would cost...

The Mini has never been in an accident but it does have a little bit of light battle damage here and there, mostly around the black plastic trim than runs along the body kit. I’ve taped it all off...

The headlights were hazy after all these years so I sanded them down and applied a coat of clear to seal them.

The Mini was wearing 15 year old stone guard which has done a fantastic job of protecting the front end over the years. However, after all this time it had yellowed and had a few small rips. For now...

I’m seeing a future Mini squad!
