All 7 (YES SEVEN) body colors, are original MINI paint codes!
White Silver
Pure Silver
Silk Green
Laguna Green
Kite Blue
Oxygen Blue
and Astro Black
I decided to keep it all MINI after seeing a Kite Blue Bayswatter at MINI of Loveland, and I am glad I did it that way... There is just something about the color pallet MINI uses that is appealing to me. Three of the colors I used don't even belong on an S, they where limited to Justa's only!

be cool if you could add some fake (or real) spider cracks in some of the glass on the car... something to give it some "age" to go with your rust. maybe some light sandblasting around some edges? give it a "foggy" look.
bullet holes in some glass pieces would actually look kinda neat; it know its maybe a little cliche, but since you do have the rat rod theme, it wouldnt look like a cliche; it would add to its age; like its been sitting in the woods and some country boys took some shots at the glass.... or maybe even some body panels for that matter! (or some rust "cancer" spots). just an idea!
oh, and you HAVE to do some big-*** crazy suicide shifter!!!

Haven't been around in awhile - this MINI is just very cool. That's all there is to it. The holes in front splitter, the holes in the rear bumper, the single exhaust, the roof... Just awesome, man!
Great photos, too. I'd love to hear reactions to it once it makes it to a show. It will make it to a show, right?

If you're talking paint, he's the man and then some.
If you're talking power, I think I know the three lettered company he'll recommend. (it doesn't start with a W)
