My Minty Baby!

Featured Replies

Well here is the start of my thread for my 6n Minty.

There's been a bit of work done to her already so here's a quick update.

Wheels and suspension: 15" Borbets and dropped approx 50mm on Raceland coilies.

Exterior: Debadged grill

De-trimmed

Tinted rear lights

Scorpion Boxer DTM exhaust system cat back

Interior: Full black leather Recaros

Dark grey carpet out of a CL

Not really that much done to her so far but it's made a difference to how she originally looked.

Got so many plans for her but will keep you all posted as i go along.

  • Author

Thanks very much!! :biggrin:

Seats have been in about 6 months now. So comfy!! They need a bit of dye around the bolsters due to normal wear but nothing too much.

Got loads of bit waiting to go on her i.e lights and bits and bobs (not giving too much away!!) but it's having the help to get it all into action.

Hopefully i'll get there soon as i want at least a few things done before UD in March.

cars looking spotless! nice colour to, wish my paint was that good on my 6n.

Will look spot on when lowered on a pair of nice rims.

you know i like this car ;)

keep up the good work

Is Sean the one with the bus?

Can't believe Nick hasn't got his Jet anymore! Where's it gone, sold it or scrapped?

Well today, as i'm waiting for things to arrive and work to start, i thought i'd take advantage of the dry weather and get out and give Minty a lovely bath and good clean.

Even had enough time to get the good old Maguire's clay bar out!

I am so jealous of this car, everytime I look at the interior it makes me sad :(. Defo one to watch out for, what you got planned?

:p

  • Author

Jealous? Why!? Yours look mint!!

She's hardly had anything done to her in comparison to most of the cars on here.

Her engine was hanging out of her when we got her and the plan was to sort her out then sell her on but she kinda stole my heart!!! lol!

Things have just happened little by little as times gone on.

As for plans, I'm so excited!!

Can't wait for things to start happening!!

First thing that will probably get done is the refurb on the Borbets.

I'm waiting for these to arrive to go on them as something different.
