mk1leg - what's with the floral pattern in some of the pics?

I'm waiting until you're done to show my husband; you're using his favorite college sports colors. (I need everything I can get to convince him we need more MINIs or Minis!!)

Are the black skid pads on the carpet an option? Do they come in red as well? Either way, Jennifer is looking AB FAB. You'll have a brand new car when your all done.

I look forward to your updates, nice work mate.

Ummm.. one of the wires going into the fuse box looks a little dirty. Could you get on that please
Looks fantastic! I'm jealous of not only the car to this point but as well as the time you get to spend on her. Looking forward to following the build to the end.
