    Did you get the shoe size by any chance?

    I'm guessing it'll be the same as Drew's.

    Visited the shop this morning, new pitchers!

    [​IMG]

    Roof has been painted, now I know the paint code for the silver roof too, I'll be adding that to the M/A MINI Paint Code listings.

    [​IMG]

    Really bad pic of freshly painted roof.

    [​IMG]

    After masking was removed, nov moving back to body shop side to have interior put back in place.

    [​IMG]

    When it was running with the hood off we noticed that the number 3 plug wire had rubbed on something and was cut through. The cut ends were arching almost an inch to make the connections. A new set of plug wires, in blue, has been ordered from OutMotoring.

    So just the top, hood and bumper being painted?

    Isn't the top just "Pure silver"?

    Yep it's looking good. Saddens me somewhat though. Now my MINI is going to have the most stone dings. I best get the paint pen out & start touching up.

    If you like that kind of "Patina" stay tuned later this year/early next year... There may be a little something along those lines in the works out this way...

    I'm digging the silver top!

    Before I got mine, I didn't like the look of one color body and a different colored top. And though my white top is a pain in the ass to keep clean, I wouldn't have it any other way. Plus it makes it easier to spot in a parking lot, lol.
