Coming soon to a MINI near me

The epoxy is drying over night at the body shop. Tomorrow they do all the body work and paint it and hopefully it goes back in the car on Saturday.

 

That's pretty cool! Looking forward to seeing it finished and installed.

 

Does that effect the passenger side airbag?

 

No...on the later cars with the three piece dash, the passenger side airbag exits through the top of the dash pad.

 

^^Correct indeed

 

Can't wait to see the post paint photos!

 

thats awesome! If my dash wasnt carbon fiber i would totally do this one!

 

Stopped by the body shop this morning to check it out. Here it is as it was around 11am today.

Its painted now but no pics until tomorrow. Its drying overnight.

 

thats awesome, can't wait to see it in the car

 

Hopefully im gonna be able to pick it up today

My dam radiator fan bit the dust yesterday so now I dont have a car to go get it with :(

Im trying to get a friend to give me a ride, if not it'll have to wait until monday when the new fan arrives.

 

oh noes, you're getting rid of your parking pass holders!

 

yeah thats going to be awesome...

 

Well no luck today. Thankfully the guy is willing to open up the shop for an hour tomorrow so I can go pick it up.

I got my fingers crossed for good weather so I can install it and get pics for you guys (and see it for myself)

 

 

Glad to know it doesn't effect the airbag. Can't wait to see this. Did you already mention the color your painting it to?

 

^^I decided on a semi-flat black

Its actually the color dodge used on the stripes of the Challenger in the 70s

 

That is going to look really nice.

 

The pics came out really bad. Im buying a new camera today so I'll get some good ones later on. Its not so "brown" and its alot less glossy in person.

Please excuse the state of my interior and lack of down tubes. I'll put em back in eventually.




Anybody else besides m444ssy (who I was inspired by) have a truly custom dash? I was searching before I brought this to my body guy but I didnt find anything.

 

Heres a camera phone shot before I put it in the car. The whole left side is blocked by the steering wheel in the other pics. Here you can see all of it.

 

Looks sicccccck.

 

Great looking dash. I like the single piece as well as your crazy gauges.

 

WOW! I am loving the look dude!

 

Very clean!

 

Looks great

But I'm not so sure about that downtube delete kit Getting them painted to match?

 

^^Getting them painted some color. Havent decided yet lol.

And dont get too excited about the dash yet guys, looks like the florida heat got the best of it and the seams have all bubbled up :(

Back to the body shop tomorrow
