Here are some photos of my Radford hatchback, almost completed! Just waiting on some final trimming bits to be done. Will be at Beaulieu on Sunday :)
Had a few small issues, broken wheel by fitter, has anyone got one of these wheels for sale?
New heated rear screen installed and the fitter smashed it :x
And paint on rear tailgate reacted, even with all these issues I have managed to keep going and will still be there on Sunday.

Such a beautiful car. :mrgreen:

Despite the "setbacks" by other clumsy oafs It's good to know you haven't lost heart with the project.

That is SOME transformation, since the article in the MCR mag, a few years ago.

Will be nice to see it "in the flesh" 8-)

Hats off to you, sir! It is a very very beautiful mini, and a superb restoration...

Very nice car!
I think Nick Roger will have one of these Cosmic. You will see him in Bulee anyway. Hope you can get one.
