Project R53

Rebuilding a Mini? Building a rally car? Making a Z Car from the Ground Up? Well, create a thread here, and keep us updated. It's a great way to track your own progress as you go along, and keep yourself sane! If you own a car, you can show it off here too.

Well, so far, I have in terms of accessories, a John Cooper Works Leather Seat, John Cooper Works Leather Dashboard, and on order is a second Seat, JCW Gear Shift Indicator. It's hard to compile a list of all the accessories I want, as that would give the game away completely, and there'd be no suprise.

The In-Car Audio will be something very special, I've already picked out the Head Unit and Speakers. And no, I'm not telling!

I now have some nice seats, a very different dash, not the usual sort of steering wheel, and some fancy shmancy lights that follow the engine rpm. All original MINI equipment of course!

More bits arrived today, and more were ordered. It's a viscous circle.
