nicely done

Wam/Bam thank ya mam

Looks good,Steve..Glad to see you still have Mini bits available up there..Getting hard to find down here now,,along with a large percentage of other good ol English car parts that were used building rods in the last 40 years.. A lot of the old BMC bits and pieces were used,like the Mini/100/1300/landcrab stuff..Was cheap too..

Metalflake on ya dash....who woulda thought....

I know what you mean Robin, although there are people re popping them now. not as good quality though !!!

Whole car is gonna be Blue flake mate, just thought i would do a bigger tryout than the master cylinder i did.

Steve, when you say "...mini wiper system.." you mean one from an older Austin Mini as opposed to "mini" meaning small, right? If so I never knew the Mini had that type - very cool system.

Yes Roger its from a 1275GT Austin Mini, Most english cars have the same system, just differing lengths of cable & tube, Its 2 speed and self parking too

Originally i had thought of not using the beltline stainless trim as at $400 plus shipping it was an expensive extra i could do without but i kept looking at the old girl and thought something was missing from the overall look.
I realised that Willys just don't look right with out the trim so a quick call to Mike at Willys parts and they were on the way. I received them on saturday and was itching to see what it looked like with them on the car, well she who must be obeyed don't like me working on cars on sundays so i managed to find a bit of time tonight
The fit & finish on the trims is top notch and they fit the body a treat without any tweaking at all which also tells me the body is correct also.

Anyways heres a couple of pics with the trims just taped in place until i find time to fit them with all the various clips.

I think it transforms the car ???








:thanks:

Good choice. It adds a lot to the look of the car and will be a lot more dramatic once it is painted.

Steve the trim will realy look great when the paint is on the car. ???? Is the hood on off center? scoop looks off to one side. I know you better than that, or was it the one who must be OBEYED that put you in a hurry

And Charlie, did you notice that Steve hadn't swept the drive way for awhile!! What, her indoors must of had him busy do all those " Honey Do's " jobs before Church on Sunday.

Steve the trim does set it off. Nice addition. Sometimes it's stuff like that, that gives a car the classic look.

Well there isn't any different than here "Honey doos get done first" Or there is he11 to pay.
