Any ideas on the aesthetics as yet? I always thought the 1100 Special was nice looking little motor. My mum had the rose pink one with beige vynal roof in the early 80's, silver with black was better. Nice alloys they had on them. Clubman 1275 GT was decent looking too. Hi Juan, I going for a sporty look but nothing too over the top. possibly with a removable front end, but I do this this there will be two front ends one normal and one clubman style. I always wanted a bright red mini as a kid but may be more inclined to go towards old English white now a days. I really like the graphics off the Australian Mini GT so may get something custom made similar to this. All in all its down to the car that I choose to buy, I'll either buy the finished article or something with a decent shell that I can improve upon. Its just a matter of what's available at the time

Do you like Gingers Oz? ? Here's another pick of a finished Red Head. Try telling me that is not beautiful

The only issue I have now is that the 'BMW 4Valve' logo faces the wrong way. I'll either replace it with something else or chop it up and get it re welded the correct way round. It doesn't serve a purpose other that covering the spark plugs but its the little things that make a BIG difference in my eyes

See, this is all very lovely and very clever. However what you need to do and really upset everyone is to fit it into an Allegro shell. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
