MY MINI 25 SPECIAL HAS THE WORKS STARTING WITH A STANDARD LOOKING MINI 25 I HAVE TRANSFORMED IT INTO THE CAR YOU SEE BEFORE YOU THE BODYWORK DIDN'T NEED TO BE TOUCHED AS IT WAS VERY GOOD CONDITION TO START WITH SO I GOT ON TO REPLACING THE ORIGINAL GRAY GRILL TO A SHINY CHROME ONE. ALREADY IT STARTED TO LOOK DIFFERENT THEN THE REST JUST FELL INTO PLACE INCLUDING BLACK BONNET STRIPES AND REPLACING THE ORIGINAL 25 GREY AND RED STRIPES DOWN THE SIDE TO BLACK BUT KEEPING THE 25 LOGO OF COURSE AND THEN CAME THE CHEQUERED ROOF, STAINLESS STEEL BUMPERS WITH OVERRIDERS, TORPEDO MIRRORS, STAINLESS STEEL NUMBER PLATE LAMP HOUSING ASTON FILLER CAP, CHROME WIPER BLADES, WASHER JETS AND BLANKING PLUGS. STAINLESS STEEL WHEEL ARCH COVERS + 5.5 x 12 REVOLUTION ALLOY WHEELS SHOD WITH FALKEN TYRES, MUD FLAPS. GB BOOT BADGE AND MOST RECENTLY CATS EYES ON THE LIGHTS. I SUPPOSE I COULD SAY THE OUTSIDE IS ALMOST COMPLETE. NOW FOR THE INSIDE WHERE DO I START FIRST I STARTED WITH STRIPPING OUT THE OLD WORN GREY CARPETS AND REPLACED THEM WITH A BRAND NEW SET FROM NEWTON COMMERCIAL I CHOSE RED AS THE ORIGINAL INSIDE DOOR COVERS HAVE A LINE OF RED GOING THROUGH THE CENTER WHICH I HAVE CLEANED UP AND KEPT ON TO THIS DAY THEN CAME THE COBRA BUCKET SEATS ALSO IN RED TO GIVE IT THAT RACE FEEL NOT FORGETTING THE LEATHER STEERING WHEEL AND MEMO GEAR KNOB. NOW I REALLY FEEL LIKE MICHAEL SCHUMACHER. BRUSHED ALLOY DASHBOARD WHICH I FEEL GIVES IT A TOUCH OF CLASS BUT NOT BE FOR MAKING THE MISTAKE OF BUYING A WALNUT DASH AND REALISING I DIDN'T LOOK RIGHT OH WELL THAT WILL ADD TO THE COLLECT OF MINI BITS IN THE LOFT. I ALSO ADDED 4 EXTRA DIALS TO THE LOWER DASH RAIL THE BACK SEATS R STILL ORIGINAL HOWEVER I HAVE COVERED THEM IN THE TYPICALLY BRITISH DESIGN THE UNION JACK OF COURSE. BUT THERE WAS STILL SOMETHING MISSING A SOUND SYSTEM ENTER THE KENWOOD HEAD UNIT AND FOUR 6X9 SONY SPEAKERS ENCLOSED IN A CUSTOM MADE BOX WHICH FITS NICELY ON THE PARCEL SHELF AND TO FINISH IT OFF CAME THE BASE CANNON WHICH IS PLACED ON A CARPETED BOARD IN THE BOOT OTHER DETAILS HAVE BEEN ADDED INCLUDING FIRE EXTINGUISHER, BLACK WINDOW BLINDS, RED AND BLUE NEON'S OTHER STICKERS AND LOTS MORE. I STILL HAVE A FEW IDEAS FOR INTRODUCING NEW THINGS OUTSIDE AND IN LIKE A BIGGER ENGINE AND NEON'S ON THE UNDERSIDE BUT FOR NOW I'M HAPPY AND PROUD OF MY MINI 25. TIME FOR A WELL DESERVED BREAK AND TO ENJOY THE RIDE. |
