Very nice car ...
As there is no "garage" you would have needed to post in "interior / exterior", "wheels & suspension", "performance". (maybe MORE)
Nice to see all your mods in one place.
Do the roll bar !!!
Your roll bar photo is HOT !!!
OH >>> THATS MY CAR !!!

better check the harness routing
Nice looking Mini. Just a suggestion - you should have a pro confirm the harness mounting scheme. From what I've heard/read, mounting the shoulder harnesses to the floor (without at least routing them over the horizontal roll bar tube) will result in serious back injury (like, broken) in cases of front impacts. Think about it - car slams into something head-first, as your body wants to go forward the harnesses exert a DOWNWARD force on your shoulders, which compresses the back, especially when the mounts are low. Worth checking out more I think...
