No girl would let their car get as filthy as mine, at least my cars bigger than your car and it doesn't have silly girls name either. :rasp:

I think you've answered your own question Noah, Cobra Classics CS. You didn't put any negatives for these ones and they keep the standard look, but will fit harnesses and they look cool, do they tilt forwards enough for good access to the back seats?

Oxfordshire? :S Warwickshire my son, CV35. Bloody black country accent northerners. :nono:

Petty good tbh, it looks exactly the same as other peoples grills they removed to spray. I slotted some paper in between the grill and the radiator so I didn't cover it in paint, I did get a tiny bit of overspray at the bottom where the grill meets the bumper, due to masking tape lifting a...

No-one would dare as i'm quite scary, like the boogieman. :evil: Even if they did I wouldn't be able hear them over the exhaust anyway.

If your avatar's anything to go by, you've more than made up for it. :cool:

My God that Golf looks good, when's she going to paint it a decent colour? :p

I was under the car today and noticed that the exhaust clamp that secures the back box to the centre section was severely rusted with holes in it, basically it looks like a lace doily. Will this ECP one be alright as a replacement...

Mine's flithy Iceburg greyish with an Alsation hair interior, so i'll need a section for people that can't be arsed to clean the f*cking things.

EFA = edited for accuracy. ;)

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
