[Viccario]

This has been rebuilt from an approximately 25 year old Imai Mini Cooper that I found in my loft. It was in a sorry state and hand been brush painted. I stripped it all back using brake fluid and repsrayed in a green that looked about right for a Mini Cooper.

It should have been a simple rebuild but there were a lot of fiddly and time consuming bits. I made my own glass as the original was a gluey mess and even the headlight surrounds had to be made shorter to look correct.

The most fiddly thing to do was the black rubber surround around the edge of the bare metal foil on the front and rear windows.

It is 99% complete, I have the wipers to do and need to decide about whether to leave the exhausts that I made up on the car or go for a smaller single pipe. There were also a few bits missing including door mirrors, door handles and steering wheel!

Hope you like it, comments welcome.
