197 Progress & Mini Project

[paulb2]

Just thought I would post up some pics of the changes I have made to my recently purchased 197. So far I have removed the rear Clio badge, painted the front grills, DIY wheel refurb and replaced side window/door seals.

Really pleased with the results. I also started work on my old mini that I bought over 3 years ago and didn't get round to starting!!
