hi there every one i posted my model that im building its a tamiya morris mini kit please leave feedback and tips or advice
i started by making the dash and adding a few bits

i then made a rear bulk head because i didnt like the back seats and plus i want to make a more modern rollcage

i also came up with the idea of having a fip front frontend of the car so i carfully cut the frontend off

Good luck with this - I built one of these a while ago (pretty stock) (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=666549) and it's so small! Looks like you're attempting some ambitious modifications.
As far as advice, I'd find it easier to read if you used some capitals and full-stops (periods) in your posts... ;)

Hi i have done some more since i last posted this item. Yes the mini is a small kit but i thought it would be a change to convert a clasic british car instead skylines and diffrent jap cars.
sorry about the picture quality i need to buy a new camara
I have brought some new wheels to go on the mini here is a pic
