Good effort there, i like a well thought out car with tasteful modifications rather than driving through some car accessory store covered in superglue!! Need to overhaul mine and give it a unique look to go with my new engine.

That is one of the nicest minis I've seen in quite a while! Looks like yo have put a lot of thought into what you want it to look like. If only I had half the equipment you have!

I cant find a good close up, its pretty simple tho! its just the normal stat housing, a short length of mini rear suspension trumpet and a universal rad neck from rally design. Then weld together :cool:

Why john deere? no reason relly, an alternitive to cooper stripes and a union jack i suppose!
