There is an update as it is all ready for the MOT (UK motor test) which does mean it is now finished. Has all the trim on but I do not have a photo of it completed as it is tucked away in the garage - I will do an update but since my last update lots has happened including the GP skirts I make being fitted, windscreen in, new wiper arms made, A pillars are all made, door seals in and the list of stupid small items which have taken ages to sort but have made a big difference

Here is how it was a few weeks ago

 

"Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?"

 

Should pass the MOT just on looks alone. Work of art and probably the best looking Mini ever as far as I'm concerned. Hope to see more pictures in future.

 

Now it made it to a show it is time to strip it, tuck the engine bay, clean it and get it ready for the shows in 2020

 

Strong work, I've been following this for a few years. You must be so pleased with the results. Nice one and well done.

 

rkde... Thanks for the pictures of your masterpiece. Beyond nice. Love it. You should post these pictures and a link to your project on the Facebook Group: League of Extraordinary MINIacs.

Join the group and share your Mini with this group of total enthusiasts from around the planet.

 

Amazing Project!!! Did you sintered your carbon fiber roof?

 

Any new updates for the rest of this year? Any shows?

Probably didn't get to many shows with Covid all last year.

 

Ah man, I just used the last hour of my life to read through this whole thread. You sir @rkde , are a very talented mechanic and artist. No way most of us on here would ever attempt such a feat! Bravo!!!!

 

Thank you ever so much. I am just enjoying playing and driving with it at the moment - since the last update I have been doing so many things to it

Redone a lot of the interior, including custom stalks, custom wheel


Custom double din surround, then when down the rabbit hole and made up a switch pack for my DRL and for high and low turbo boost


Got out to a few shows


BMW F10 under seat sub woofers with upgrade cones


Just lots of little mods and I feel that I am almost ready to start another build

 

Absolutely epic.

Shame that the pics from the last update are broken, but just finished reading the feature in Performance MINI.

Sad that this is the very last issue to be published, but awesome that the cover star is this car.



PS
thanks again Richard for the indicator stalk transfers!

 

Say what again ?

You have your indicators on the right hand side ?

 

Hi guys, I have been head down for a while but for anyone wanting to see the car as it is now this is the live mag feature

I hope that I will be able to find some time to carry on with little mods here and there as I have time.

Only changes since the mag feature, is chilli red mirror caps are fitted, I have changed the side indicators to something of my own design, back running the COP on the engine and have changed the ECU to an ECU master

 

Hell of a read, well done!
