Default Nice Job

Very nice workmanship! Look forward to seeing more pict's.

Back in the day (yeah, I'm a dusty old fart) one of the quips about the original Mini's was " if God had meant 'em to run 100+ MPH, he'd have given 'em bigger wheels!"

Well, my post was right. "Once we have kids the car will never get done". Body's back on, motor back in, finished making all the alum panels for the interior. It runs and drives. I basically need to finish the chassis wiring and some odds and ends. I actually just started wiring it last week. New goal is to get tags and actually drive it before the snow flies. I'll try to post pics in the next couple days.
