Re: WIP - Mini Cooper Racing Ver.07

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.

Glue it on.

Not bad~ ^^"

One color tone of the engine...........

But look so good, right?

Re: WIP - Mini Cooper Racing Ver.07

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