Hmm... No kidding, I always thought the third brake light was in the same spot on the R56... Just had to google some pic's... Turns out I was wrong.

 

[QUOTE=Albiecrazy;3848226]Hurtin' my feelings, man.


Didn't mean anything bad..thought it was funny he showed a picture of the hole with a patch welded on.thats all.you just missed it and I had a chuckle .probably uncalled for.my apologies .

 

Ok ok no more going and hurting anybody's feelings... Forum admin will start mailing you these... :(

 

Lmao...that is hilarious!!!

Oh and the paint looks GREAT!!!

 

[QUOTE=lathedog;3848234]No worries, my good man! The patch weld shot didn't help me at all since I had no clue that the brake lights were in different locations, Gen 1 vs Gen 2...

This is turning out to be a very educational thread.

 

LMFAO. Can you send me a electronic copy of that complaint form pls. I need to send that to someone from a different forum (non car forum).

 

I printed a bunch of those off a long time ago... Just googled "Army Hurt Feelings Report" and picked the one that looked the most like a real DOD form...

 

The first clear is on the roof!

 

Tomorrow I finish the roof... Hopefully...

 

When you finish that project you aughta bring it to Cars&Coffee in Lafayette! It would look awesome next to the Morgan three wheeler that shows up every month...

 

Need an engine first but I plan on being a regular!

 

I have an old lawnmower engine, I can donate.

 

Unless your lawn mower was powered by an RMW 1.8 stroker, you can keep it.

 

Nope, Briggs & Stratton. lol

 

/subscribed... beautiful color roof.

-B

 

Sad news but the final clear clouded over, and would not sand out. :( Got to start back over.

 

Wow awesome project, can't wait to see the end result

Very cool and unique idea on a Mini!

 

Got the roof leveled back out, and re-primed despite the snow and cold. So tomorrow I start again. This time I will be using White Silver instead of Pure Silver, for a little more color separation between the base color and primer color.

 

Subscribed. More pics please! =D

I wouldn't want my MINI to look rusty, but I have a 69 GTO to restore (saving up slowly) and the idea of making it a jalopy sleeper with massive power under the hood DOES interest me!

 

Pics will be coming tomorrow night.

 

Awesome project!

 

"Tomorrow night" was a few nights ago... Just sayin'.

 

Yea! Wheres the pics ?!?!?

 

 

Awww S#!T...

Looks like I know what I am doing tomorrow... After I finish the new hole in the hood.

(By tomorrow, I mean tomorrow... Unless I forget again. :( )
