decided to go with a motor swap in the car so that will now be on my list before next year. i started trying to turn everything one color but got lazy, maybe i can do a little bit more tomorrow
Fun build thread! I'm sure you're also on VWvortex, no? What's your screen name over there? I'm new to Minis, but have spent YEARS in Volkswagens.... I'm "JimmyD" over on Vortex.
I'm on vortex every once in a while, not really one with the sheepness if you can tell by my car. My name on there is wickeddrummer55 though
so everything was on pause as i started to build my supercharged motor until on my way to work the car got hit from someone moving into my lane and messing up my shaved euro fender on the passenger side. i have to order a new fender from overseas which will take until mid november to arrive then i have to have it shaved again. cant have anything nice.
so little update and a teaser pic. i placed the order for the pieces that got messed up in the accident. they are scheduled to arrive before feb. once they come in they get welded and shaved then prepped for paint. paint should be on before april. Im still gathering pieces for the supercharger but im moving this month so the starting to pay rent has put a dent in my car funds. the good part about moving is i will have a garage to rip the motor apart in to do the refresh when it gets the supercharger. as for the teaser pic....here is something i have been playing with in photoshop. the rims are not the ones or color im going to use but i havent had time to fix them yet.
so this car has been pushed back for a while as i have been swapping out the cvt on my mini and putting in a 6speed out of an S
as much as i love the seats and the condition they are in they ill most likely get pulled out to put other seats in.
