SP450andLE Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 So strange to see is somewhere other than my our garden! Lucky it didn't fall off the trailer, that would've been a bugger. Good luck with it! p.s. I will do the notice of sale tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goindf Posted August 28, 2011 Author Share Posted August 28, 2011 All nicely parked up in the garage. Did a little bit of work on it Yesterday. Got out with the wire brush and stripped back the primer to find a few rust holes but nothing to serious, chucked a bit of Rust convertor on it to slow it down for now. Will post some photos soon.

sweedazz101 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Awesome stuff man. Just an idea for colour, my dads old one was painted a really really really dark purple. Looked as evil as a mini could possibly look good luck with the build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 my cousin had a light purple mini - it was rusty so in conclusion dont paint it light purple dark metallic purple like my beetle on the other hand would be sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SP450andLE Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Air bags? Nah. The rest of it sounds good though. But I'm not sure about the matte black. Could you get a combo of colours with the wrap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goindf Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 Yeah, thinking about different colours, not 100% sure yet, actually not even 10% sure what colour, Wife would love the Purple but Im not convinced, even though with a wrap I can change my mind every 6 months and rewrap it (finances allowing). Air Bags was actually my Dads idea, that comes from the Truck background, but it may be a bit of a major to do but who knows. He reckons it would give a better ride but I am keen for the wow factor, something a bit different. Not that you want a Mini any lower, though it would look cool when you park and dropped it literally on its a**e! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SP450andLE Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Hang on, I'm a dick. I was thinking of the safety sort of airbags I completely forgot the convo we had about truck airbags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjrstar Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Airbags would be a mission there is stuff all room inside the subframe area and a small diameter bag would need to run massive pressure, you would also lose the go-cart spec handling. I reckon a nicely set up ride height, and enough flare to take some deep dish 13x8's. Plus a tidy dark colour rather than something too outrageous. Something like this would be pretty much win in my opinion, something both enthusiasts and modifiers would both appreaciate. Good luck with the build.

goindf Posted October 8, 2011 Author Share Posted October 8, 2011 Still undecided on the airbag thing, may end up leaving looking nana-ish outside and go extreme inside but I am sure that will change as it progresses. Lots of Audio and Electronics, including Central Locking, Pop Doors and Electric Windows if I can work the window thing out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
