WIP - Mini Cooper Racing Ver.07

Here is the design work of my Mini Cooper Racing Ver.07.

The original kit is Tamiya Morris Mini Cooper Racing.

I wanna make it look like modern Mini.
So I decide to make a new roll cage & modern racing seat, etc.

Filled the holes.

Interior heat insulation.
Cut a simular size of aluminum foil.

Use masking tape to measure the size.

Then put it on the aluminum foil.

Can anyone tell me? Thanks alot.

Not only you have tons of good ideas but youre a great bulder too! looking forward to your progress:)

I'm enjoying this thread.
If I'm not wrong, I think they are called Window safety net and Kill switch.

Did you notice the seat seems to be a gril face and even hair ??? :naughty: :p

Mmm that must bring dollars on Ebay, does it ???? :evillol: :evillol:

Great building there! Am definitely going to try some of the foil techniques you used...very clever. Love the corrugated piping too, looks very realistic. Can't wait to see this finished.

Do you mean a tow hook, that you put in the front and back so the car can be pulled by a truck?

Excellent building of the always-classic Mini Cooper.
Great progress thread too.
