The roof chopped BMW Mini cooper s. Project Blue (mini project). Project Grasshopper (Beetle Project). Tool rental and Services. Thursday, 16 January 2014. Front bumper and home. 4 years since I started what has turned out to be quite a bumpy journey, involving body shops conning me and not doing work - work not to the best standard, having to have to stop for a back operation and also move house has all kept this project lagging behind only having a few hours every now and then to play. With the car on ...

The roof chopped BMW Mini cooper s. Project Blue (mini project). Project Grasshopper (Beetle Project). Tool rental and Services. Wednesday, 6 May 2015. All, this should be the most boring update. While the time has been passing by and I have been doing all else but working on the car I decided to put a few days aside to do something. Vipec ECU fitted and all the engine items configured to work as they should (it is great fun playing with the peddle and throttle.). All sensors have now been fitted. 9658; ...

The roof chopped BMW Mini cooper s. Project Blue (mini project). Project Grasshopper (Beetle Project). Tool rental and Services. Wednesday, 31 December 2014. Having taken two headlining and cut them up to fit the cars larger roof skin I started to place them in the car, at the moment they are just taped into place but as they are made of GRP they will be fibre glassed together when I next have time. Once bonded together I will re-trim in a ultra suede to finish. Monday, 29 December 2014. The sections all...

The roof chopped BMW Mini cooper s. Project Blue (mini project). Project Grasshopper (Beetle Project). Tool rental and Services. Thursday, 27 February 2014. The first big question asked by almost everyone on this project what am I doing about the windows? Alot of people ask will I cut them down; the answer to that is no as I will explain below;. The front screen can be cut but it is an art to cut both sides and then break it correctly, something I am yet to do. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). 9658; Tool man ...

The roof chopped BMW Mini cooper s. Project Blue (mini project). Project Grasshopper (Beetle Project). Tool rental and Services. Sunday, 28 September 2014. The sun arrived here in the UK but without any joy. Again the roof popped like it had last time. I couldn't take it any more, the idea behind the composite roof was to keep things light and simple but I could not deal with the odd effect the sun had on the roof. Aluminium roof ready to go on. Car is roofless again :(. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). 9658;...

The roof chopped BMW Mini cooper s. Project Blue (mini project). Project Grasshopper (Beetle Project). Tool rental and Services. Saturday, 19 April 2014. The answer to the question "What are you doing about the windows? Over the years of this what is now quite a long drawn out slow build as I have little to no tome to work on it I have been asked so many times what about the windows?

The roof chopped BMW Mini cooper s. Project Blue (mini project). Project Grasshopper (Beetle Project). Tool rental and Services. Wednesday, 14 January 2015. Rear delete kit required. Got some 6mm ply wood as it was the lightest I could find and I am partly past caring for weight so much at this moment. So I made a paper template, cut 3 sections of ply wood. The back was then trimmed in black ultra suede to cover the inside plywood. I then coloured the staples in after the photo. Sunday, 4 January 2015.

The roof chopped BMW Mini cooper s. Project Blue (mini project). Project Grasshopper (Beetle Project). Tool rental and Services. Thursday, 22 August 2013. The project has now gone on hold and the car will be tucked away - I will be taking a trip to hospital for an operation on my spine and hence the car will be stored until I have my full health back - this is likely to be at least 6 months.
