Always had a think about black minis - couldn't resist this one and I'm going to make it into a nice daily driver , very solid shell and punchy motor , just needs some tlc, bit of paint here and there, interior sorting and a set of alloys










Might paint the roof black as well

I agree about black cars, but they do show up any ripples - that looks good though. I'd definately paint the roof black.

Mk3 elf doors? I like the door chrome against the black

The wheels are mingin' though - I'd put standard (silver / grey) steels on it.

Once you go black, you never go back.. Ha

put the right style wheels on today - alloy S rims with dunlop racing tyres, took the clubman front bumper off and put a proper mini one back on, looks tons better now







interior next job on the cards

Thats a very nice S

If you are going to use it in the rain ? I would recommend innerwings, to prevent rust.

They make a HUGE difference, when it comes to help keeping a Mini rustfree.

Side/bonus effect, is that they reduce the road noise




PS , love the reclining handle

Looks far better with proper (10") wheels on it. Makes a vast difference.

Jens, who supplies the innerwings you refer to? Cheers. Mark

It's already got them on. The bodywork (it's the original shell) on that car is superb and will make a great little classic daily once fettled and the trim sorted...and it's really got some poke !

I dont have the last reciept here, but I think its this place http://fyunce.dk/

I know there are some in UK too, my friend once bought a set in plastic, from a company called Camlo.

The Danish ones, are made of alloy, with a rubber seal, on each side.

They completely seal off the whole innerwing, but are open in the front & rear, so air goes thrue = no condensation.

I seem to remember the price was 60 pounds, for a set, and they make them for all classic Mini,s
