    Not those ones, they don't really fit the theme of the car anymore. ;) You will see the ones I am going to tomorrow... Everybody else (minus a select few) has to wait! Cant tell all my secrets yet. :D

    Nope. They are a old style wheel that will fit the car perfect. Just cant decide if I want to paint them or not though.

    Don't paint the ones you showed me. They look good and add a little touch of bling / contrast but not too much.

    If I do the red wheels... I might see what one of the custom Harley Davidson shops here in town can do with a set of 225/45/15 Nitto NT-01's... ;)

    Secure perimeter fence, tower, staff, all you need is a couple of big Dobes or a couple of MINI owners to patrol the fence. :)

    Have a great day. Progress pics on the sway-bar installs, OK. :)

    All joking aside there was a breach in the perimeter fence. Repairs were already in progress.

    ... and if you actually COULD buy a car with the RatMINI finish... just try getting it matched when you need collision repair.

    Got the fender stencils in the mail today... Kristan works FAST!

    Nope... You cant see them! Wont even post any pics until the final base coat effect is achieved, then I will share my secret on how to do it. ;)

    Last weekend in the army is this one, and a celebratory camping trip the next weekend... But, I will try to get the fenders and bottom of the cowl sprayed during the week in between.

    Cant wait to see a complete car (minus the bumpers) when I pop the garage door open again! The Cowl will need to be sprayed in place, due to the tight clearances and risk of damaging the paint if installed once completed.

    Decided to give up on the new Jungle Green, not doing a darker color either... Just going to keep a good thing going, and use Silk Green on the passenger side (passenger quarter is Laguna Green), and the cowl/driver fender will be Laguna Green against the Silk Green hood and driver quarter. All with a pretty heavy appearance of rust fade/ spots.

    WHEN (yes all caps on that) I brake down and order the bumper covers, the front will be Laguna, and Silk for the rear. The hood scoop still needs modified, and color has yet to be decided... Got to see how everything blends together after reassembly.

    Well there's your mid week update! Keep an eye out for any changes that might pop up. :D
