    here's some fun pics installing the cage. I painted the rear of the car metallic black. (which I saw in Ryan's car and liked.) Looks nice and helps the rear look finshed. The front half of the car will remain with full interior.

    Props to your creativity, drive, and, uh, bank account. And "wow" to the tire size!

    Very inspirational, now do up an R56. :arf:

    Any money left in the piggy bank. I like all the CF, takes skill to use it right. :)

    Haha thanks. No R56, however, if you would like to donate your money and MINI to the cause... Im game.

    I added some fun pics to the end of post #2

    Marc,

    My best guess is that this project will never be "finished". There will always be a new idea, a new technique, a new concept.

    Tuls, simply magnificent!

    Thanks Paul, There is actually an end. That's why I have not put the car back together. This is the third build. This is the final build. There will be other builds. But not with THIS car. ;) The plans I have for this car cant really be exceeded after this. haha but it will be fun to drive!

    It's nice to see the whole story (even heavily condensed) in one piece, since most of it happened before I knew about it. I have run across bits of it here and there, but in chronological order it is better. I hope when you decide to stop, Hal lives on in his final form for a long time.

    Awesome. I've been a fan of your ride for awhile and I wish I could tool around the innards of a car like that. Kudos to a car well done. Oh yea...:Thumbsup::D

    Get in line for that, I am sending my wife over first. My wife still can't seem to understand that 'it never ends'.......... There is always something else to do.

    Tuls seems to be on a very aggressive schedule though, very impressive! Awesome car!
