Finished the roof lining today with Newtons plain grey material. I'm really happy with the grain. Feels good having it back in the car.
I put the door cards back in also so another job done.
Everything seems to be working great and the car is driving fine if not a tad slow
This week the car will go away for final shell sign off, then goes to a place for a stringent MOT as its been off the road so long.
A few quite photos today from my phone.

Thats a problem i'm trying to get over... not always looking to the next project
I wish I had the money to keep all the minis i've had. I'd like to keep this one.. Perhaps buy a old rusty thing to play with.
My family are due some much needed 'quality time' so will focus on that for now. I've owned quite a few minis in the last 3-4 years but its been a good 2 years since I had one which I could actually drive!

Thanks Al.
Your help on technical 'issues' has been invaluable.. My knowledge lets me down but my enthusiasm makes up for it
