    If it's the one I'm thinking of I think we've had a few posts here and there on M/A.

    I'd love to see someone jump in with a "here's my project." We see rare threads by people going the other way, restoring classics, and many more doing modern mod projects on MINIs but I don't think we've seen even one rat rod Mini/MINI project or results thread here.

    Must be alum. If sheet metal surely they would have some rust spots just from handling them. I do like with the fenders but need to color match the rest.

    Looks like the rusting is in progress on the fenders and running boards. Don't think those wheels are going to rust though without some help...

    I noticed the Fuchs when this was posted back in May, but I didn't realize it was turbo Porsche powered too. :drool

    Not being critical but the polished wheels just seem out of place to me. The red ones on the magazine cover seem to be better but hard to tell from the little bit you can see.

    You can see that car earlier in the thread, can't remember when exactly it ran across my feed, but I remember posting about it. Thats the one that is done with the PlastiDip that actually rusts. Those wheels are on for the sale of the car only, he had a red set on in the earlier pictures, and normally had it on red steelies with white walls.

    I've picked up another follower! [emoji23] Been watching him on the FB groups (not LXMORONS) for a couple weeks and kinda like his project. The rust on this is real, done by sanding and acid washing... personally I don't recommend going that route, but it's not my car. If I was doing it this way though I would have feathered the layers of paint/primer, sealer, and the galvanizing out a little more than he did.

    Agreed they are an ugly wheel, and way too big! Now, if you could get the same wheel in a 15" leave the center polished and paint the lip and veins red, they might not be so bad... Especially with wide whites on the tires. [emoji2]
