Sweet!

Nice outcome to a LOT of work! Fun to look at, as well as drive, I'm sure :thumbsup:

mini4tide 10-29-2011 06:03 PM

Very nice! What wheels did you swap to?

orangecrush 10-29-2011 06:09 PM

I changed over to the MSR’s. I’ve been playing with different sets I have (I koenig and 2 sets of OZ’s) The 17 OZ’s are now becoming my track wheels, the koenig wheels I traded and the 18’s are on the marketplace now.

Gorgeous! :thumbsup:

I don't understand the color though. Sometimes it looks ridiculously metallic (like your sig) and sometimes it looks satin or almost matte (like these pics). I always wonder how it looks in person. I love it.

orangecrush 10-29-2011 07:06 PM

Actually, these pics really show what the color looks like. There’s a lot of flop in this color and sometimes even though it’s not metallic, it flops to a dark orange.

The MSR's are 18's, right? That's the best looking R56 I've seen by far! Great work! You've set the bar!

Slartibartfast 10-29-2011 08:31 PM

Mark, I've been a way for a while but the rebuild looks awesome!

I can’t remember the guys name but if you google track decals, his company comes up repeatedly.

From wrecked MINI to what his vision looks like once it's completed. You don't see things like this too often. Nicely done. :thumbsup:

So...when will the bidding start on ebay? :lol:

countryboyshane 10-30-2011 04:50 AM

Looks great! I like that your wing blends in nicely and isn't ricey at all. Very GP-like. Motor on!

Porthos 10-30-2011 05:32 AM

Come to the Dragon next year.....I want to steal your MINI. But on the reals your shiz looks good.























Think I am joking I am going to take it from you.

Eric (Plug Guy) 10-30-2011 05:33 AM

Either you have a twin in town, or we crossed paths the other day. You were inbound on E. Indep, I was creeping out of the side parking lot at Village Lake. Thought that was your orange screamer going by.


:thumbsup:

mini4tide 10-30-2011 02:02 PM

Hey Mark, What's the weight on the MSR's, if you don't mind me asking?

I don’t remember exactly but they’re in the 17-18lb range I think.

The OZ’s that were on the car (17’s) were much lighter (14.x lbs)

Your colors must be very popular this time of year.

I was going to make a pumpkin stem out of fiberglass and mount it to the roof...lol.

Love it. Very clean, untill the back window. That's my only criticism. :)

djdraddy 10-30-2011 02:36 PM

I think I might actually pay to see that. Not too much mind you but definitely US currency!

Actually, all that stuff is coming off this week... I’ll leave the track decals on and that’s it. (and maybe the bend the rules...)

The rest of it is coming off.


Mark

JustinGTP 10-30-2011 03:13 PM

The Bend The Rules is too big I think. Also, the font choice, (Comic Sans????)

Isn't it distracting when looking out the rear window at all?
