EFA. ;)

Ah right'o cheers mate, i'll leave it untill the dash needs to come off for something in the future, probably white dials. But i'm a very lazy man, so I think i'll blank it for the time being. ;)

So I do have to remove the whole dash and mask up the clock surrounds? Is there no other way of getting the trim off then?

Torx screwdrivers, i'm off to buy some tomorrow as loads of the Mk2 interior is screwed in with them. I'm in the process of spraying loads of bits, but the grab handles and electric mirror/door handles are torx screws. Flat head screwdrivers will undo some of them, but they're all different...

I've searched loads but other than removing the whole dash and masking it up, I can't seem to find a thread or any guides on how to remove the centre console surround for spraying. The bit around the clock and vents, anyone know how to do this or am I just sh*t at searching?

About £20quid. ;)

Masked the front of the car up and sprayed the grill with some satin black. I did try taking it off the other week but failed, so I took the lazy man option instead. :approve:

Ghey. ;)

Indeed, classic Mini or nothing.

Lol, that'd do it.

The F1 car suspended in pieces is mental.

Stop shoving your Haribo in everyone's face, bloody teachers pet!

Peel it and find out. ;)

Mine arrived today, I think i'm going to keep them in the car or i'll lose them. Thankyou. :D

Some of the best handling cars money can buy and they still can't go round corners. Ironic seeing as their favorite motorsport is NASCAR, which is essentially one giant corner. :S

I remember a piece on wheeler dealers about adjusting carbs from that series I think, I can't remember if it was the Mini or a different car. Edd took apart the carbs and showed that there's an adjuster on some kind of hollow needle that 'injects' the fuel. (I say injects, as i'm aware carbs...

I like that you've got your knowledge from wheeler dealers, I watched those two episodes and got quite excited when Edd said that they're easy to work on and great little project cars. It sounds like you've got the same amount of general mechanical knowledge as me, so that gives me hope. :D...

I've been looking just out of curiosity and there are some shockers out there called 'restoration projects', that as far as I can tell are just made out of rust. :S Foot wells and boots rusted through, doors like lace doilies, I wouldn't think a car like that is good for anything other than...

All i've been thinking of since you started this thread is buying a Mini, or at the very least a 1300 Mini engine to tear down and rebuild, then at some point a rolling chasis to put it in. Not that I have any money at all for it and the Clio needs all the belts changing so that's all of my...

I've seen far worse. Is it wrong that I like the rear bumper? :o

Cool vid, although I hate Bettles, loathsome things unless fitted with a decent engine from a Porsche, but even then I still don't really like them.

I didn't rate the ITG panel filter at all, when I cleaned my old one I put a Pipercross (K-Tec) filter in it as a stop gap it felt loads better, even when the ITG was all clean and re-oiled I still thought the Pipercross one was better. Irrelevant to me now though as i've been running a V6box...

Really enjoyed that, tank slapper sh*t me up a bit I thought the car was getting binned but it was well recovered. Video moved along well, bits where you're setting up the car, having lunch and standing around waiting were the only slow bits, but I think they're needed as i'd imagine there is...

Good man, sounds like you're modding your 1.2 the right way. :approve: The colour really makes it stand out from the rest aswell.

I hope you mean engine dressing, because if you try and chase performance in a 1.2 you'll spend alot of money and not really get anywhere. :dapprove:

There's no error about it mate your car looks good, so many people try and overdo 1.2s because they try and overcompensate for the small engine, less is more imo, yours looks spot on. :approve:

Not sure about cream and brown but grey would look alright, i'd just get them polished up tbh. Maybe some clear side repeaters and a 1*2 grill?

Personally I think they look great the way they are, but it's your car so fair enough. What colour are you painting the wheels?

I really like the way it looks in this one, alloys look good. Bit of advice aswell, if you want to post photos directly onto the site (embed) then open them in photobucket, right click copy directly on the photo, then paste them directly into your thread.

Monster! :evil: Good tune aswell, got that one on my ipod.
