Finally I've taken a few pictures of my 6N.

I know it needs a wash before anyone say's lol.

And here are a few bits I've been collecting for her.

The debadged grill is in white primer ready to be colour coaded.

And I'm not 100% sure if i will use the backbox.

loks nice mate, i like the colour! good luck with it, what wheels you got planned for it? I've always liked black wheels on a green car personally?

Not sure excatully what wheels as i like so many lol but i was thinking black centers with a polished lip/dish to go with my lights

just brought this

likey likey something different not to sure on the rear lights tho :p grill is something very different

I got the rear lights very cheap thair the same make as my headlights SONAR.

If thay dont look right once fitted ill have to find another pair.

looking forward to seeing progess on this one, pics of your golf?

and when you can step away from collecting goodies, wash the poop of the car, not good for the paint and spoils a photo haha

I think youve seen pictures of my mk1 on the mk1 golf owners club

A very small up date.

Heres a couple of pictures of the trial fitment of the rear lights.

not my cup of tea but they do suit the colour i suppose, i agree about the black wheels, and i think that backbox will look sweet.

thanks for your comments atticus

Finally got a set of wheels that tickled my fancy. I couldent tell you the make of the wheels all i can tell you is there 7x15" ET28 Heres the ebay picture.

As you can see the wheels need a referb as the black centers are not all that and the bare metal has started to pit.

Once i recieved the wheels i started the referb (Had the wheels since friday of last week).

Heres a few pictures.

I also managed to get a picture of my de badged grill with its first coat of top coat

its going to be nice mate! good luck wiht th egrille, thats somehting i alwasy do lay really really thick coats no wonder i always get runs haha I'm just so impatiant :(

I'm liking this thread keep it updated!

Thanks for the comments

Next on the list will have to be some sort of suspension setup

Colour coded grill looks sweet man, can't wait to see her slammed on those wheels either :-D

Going to look sweet slammed on those wheels Did you think of getting a set of 6n2 rear lights?

Yes but having the sonar front angel eyes-side lights i thought i would get the rears for a matching set

The other half though she would get involved in the wheel referb. As you can see theres still a long way to go.

I was told to take the mini last christmas befor it was scraped. It had been sat in a garage for 6-7 years. This car is the last on my list for a resto as I'm currently half way through restoring a mk1 golf and modding the 6n
