I like the indicators idea hell i love the car it is different and i like that not flowing the normal route keep up the good work. I though about doing something with my indicators too but i have no where to put them on the camper well i can always add some to the roof light bar but that will add 32 lights to it and at some point something going to give

Another good day on the mini today, fingers cross it'll be back on the road next month!!! Using rivnuts and epoxy resin i fitted one of the new windows, i would of fitted the other side but i ran out of bolts and then replaced the stainless slider bolts for the gold fairing ones I test fitted one of the new carbon panels, they seem a little flimsy so i may have to bond on some braces on the back I've also attacked the rear lock so that it can also be popped open using the remote fob. I've joined the two doors together and fitted a kit car bear claw latch and striker. This gives a real positive closing action and can be popped open with a door solenoid like the side doors. I.m also planning to add a gas strut to swing the door clear and to keep it open. The plan is to re mount the old hinges on the opening side but without the ball so it still looks like the doors centrally open.

Hey, You're a regular customer at Arc Angels aren't you? I did a work experience placement there last year and they kept mentioning your mini too me as I've got a Clubman Estate project too. In fact you turned up in the 405 while I was there one time and it looked awesome. haha. Mini looks really cool as well, good to see what they were talking about.

Few little updates These bad boys turned up t'other day and i've finally finished welding the cage because i'm an idiot and once i have an idea i stick to it, i decided to smooth all the welds on the cage so it'd look nicer.... but at over and hour per joint it really was a silly idea :withstupid: but they do look nice... only 12 more to do oh and i bought an automatic metro

Pink cage FTW. Think it would look better in gloss black with that rear and the gold bonnet, but it's your car and if you like it, that's all that matters What's the plan for the metro?

i'm still not sure about the cage colour, it's just a can i had hanging about. As for the metro.... alloys, lowered and possibly a funky bonney ;D

Did some more bits for the up and coming MOT today... Finally addressed the problem with both indicators coming on when only one way was selected, to seperate them i had to fit some diodes on the hazard switch. I also tackled the door opening from the wing mirrors which was a riiiiiight fiddle, but definitely worth it! First i had to split the mirrors then drill out the fixing bolt so that the wires can pass inside the door and the result....
