Mini Cabriolet Euro Style

Hi Folks,

This is a Mini Cooper coupe that I converted to a Cabriolet. The top was removed and the windscreen sanded and filed to accomadate the top removal. The convertible top is scratched out of real blue leather that I got off an insulated travel mug. The frame was scratched from spue. Wheels are blacked out euro style. It is painted 5 coats of Krylon Powder Blue and Kilz interior Camel for the interior. Fun to build and a cool car for Mini fans.

Thanks for looking and comments most welcomed!

NEW PHOTOS TODAY!








THANKS FOR LOOKING.....AGAIN.

Re: Mini Cabriolet Euro Style

From what I can see it looks good (ok, the rear right wheel is on crooked). The problem is that I really cannot see much because the subject in the pictures is completely out of focus and you might want to take better pictures to share on the forum. Good luck.

Please back away from the car! lol

I love the color combo. I wish I could see the car better.

Take a look in the FAQs and find the thread on taking pictures. You will learn a LOT from there...I know I still go back there from time to time to find tips and tech.

Looks like you have a pretty cool base for taking pictures from, I'm sure I speak for most if not everyone else that it would be nice to see more of that.

Thanks for noticing the wheel, I missed that and I'll repair it for the new photos I post later this week.

Yes, the camera is pretty good, but I am still learning the setting. But......I will post more pics this week, thanks.
