    Color sanding & polishing is now done, if it stops raining this week I'll bring her home. Now I get to sand, primer & paint the mirrors, flares, rear bumper lip, a few other odds & ends. All the black paint is the Jet Black II off the '07 Mini (might as well stick with the Mini theme since I think the car's name will be 'MiniMe').
    Are you not body matching the mirrors and the rear lip? I can understand the flares maybe being black. It'll look good no matter what color you do it!

    This project is pure awesome!

      I picked a hell of a day to bring her home! Worst rain of the year, over one inch per hour, in heavy bumper to bumper traffic...

      So that transformed my sharply inclined lawn into a nice mud field, and I have a 2wd, open-differential truck....but, after ruining about $40 worth of lumber and plywood she made it in, safe & sound.

          Flares, bumper lips & mirrors will be black. It looks great on the Mini, so I favor that look. They'll be gloss black to match the door frames.

                          thats Dan's last 323. lol.


                          i think it's safe to say this one is a vast upgrade over the original at this point.
