i brought burney the jet black mini back in june 2004 as a shell with nothing more than just the subframes and steering column on him for the huge price of £100 which was quite good seeing as there was minimal rust ( front wings and front pannel, driverside scuttle, small hole in rear seat base, driver side floor pan and a tiny hole under the fuel tank. i imediately started stripping the rusty pannels from the front and replaced them with new genuine wings and a non-gen front panel making them into a removable front. i then added the wheels(£280 from a auto jumble) 6 point cage and recaro seats(£15 and a knackered ps2). i found a nice dash(£89 brand new) and bonnet(£38) on ebay and added these to the equation. to keep the dash looking good i decided to use diferent dials to the standard so i added some clocks i picked up at auto jumbles and a push start button. soon after came the arches which are group 6 and harnesses also at this time i added the steering wheel to keep up with the more modern look of the dash.  rally bonnet i have 4 spots going in this a bit of work still to do on this to finish it off.  a front view before i fitted the chrome grill and lights  custom dash with what i think is a mg spedo push button starter  custom made center console with cd player that is now removed with a 7" touch screen and pc mountaid in the boot  dzus fastner fixing removable front  rear 1/4 with tinted glass and you can see the rollcage  recaro seats and sparco harnesses and full six point cage  13x7 genuine revolutions with 195/40 13 |

I hadn't seen decent piccies of your Min yet Jamie - it is going to be a nutter machine.
What is that bonnet like?!! LOL
I like the toolbox powered engine bay, and styrofoam cup shaped gearstick...
The seats are very nice - what are they out of?
Alex is going to be sooooooo jealous of your ignition switch; he wants to do similar in the Elf.

the bonnet is mad but i want to be able to see where im going lol so the extra lights should be usefull lol
the tool box is very quick it pulls verry well throught out the rev range lol
the seats are out of an opel manta gte they are the same as astra gte i think
the grills on the console are compuiter ones they are only about 2.50 from most computer shops lol they are covering the computer fans that are cooling the amp that will be powering the front speakers.
