Nice for a change though...

I'm not really sure how they've spent so much? I quite like the colour but that's it :(

No doubt a lot of work went into it but it is a standard car under the skin.

Is it just me or does the dash look like one of the autoplas dashes with some minor modification?

Like others I can appreciate the work that's gone in to it but trying to make a classic car look modern just doesn't look good ever !

I doubt the rear view mirror is safe taking up most of the windscreen !

Would be nice to see some engine pictures too .

Each to their own of course I'm just more interested in the money side of it. You could get a damn nice mini for less than 14k esp with a standard engine!

It's a promo car and certainly didnt cost that much for them to build

I remember seeing them at l2b 2009?
And being pretty sheepish @ SNS when they hadn't touched the grubby a series lol

How can folks call a mini custom, when they don't even make a unique door trim. I've seen some very nice custom ones on real show minis that include the speaker housing, door pull and pocket - all made from scratch and 100% unique.

Ones like this where it is all cobbled together just looks amateurish. Nice enough, but amateurish.

£35k is easy to spend when you're paying someone else to do it for you.

I can't see how they would manage to rack up a bill that big, the pain probs cost a few thousand, the electric rubbish a few more then the interior. I'd have thought they had spent about 10k on it more than 35 *tongue*.

I reckon I have spent close to £10k on mine, but that includes a full engine/box rebuild, gay charger, efi and me doing 90% of the work.

Well with Shauna's mini it had a new front panel, two a panels, door and step repairs, drivers door hinge panel, repairs to the passengers, and some stuff in the boot floor, with prep and paint (albeit not the greatest but it was rushed) and that was a grand. And that work wasn't done by us, I can see where £35k can come from in some cars, but not this one.

Yeah but we know a guy *wink* . With you guys, I can understand where the money goes but with this other than a flashy sound system and some tvs, I can't see where it went!
