Looks awesome! I would go ahead and match the gas cap, that should look mean!

Well... I would think ... Fuel Cap, Belt Line Trim, Mirror Caps, Side Scuttles, Hatch Handle, Exhaust Tips, and for the fun of it ... the MINI Wings front and rear.

Motor On!

I've disassembled the rear suspension and will be sending it all to get powder coated except the rear trailing arms since I decided to pick up an aluminum set. I couldn't pass on the deal. The upper support was in need of some love, it has some surface rust in spots, but nothing to damage the integrity of the structure.

Getting closer to the end. Ran into a little problem today with my Canton power steering reservoir. I couldn't get the cap off! I messed it up now and will be ordering another one soon, so now progress has stopped.

Great attention to detail. Even the coolant hose support and the inside of the silicone hoses are orange. 👍🏼

Amazon Amazon

I've got this fitted to mine (same expansion tank, brand and all) and it fits quite nicely.

Summer came and I stopped working on the Mini. It's starting to cool down so I've started up again. A little progress from this weekend:
