Roll Cage Going In
With the interior painted, it’s time to install the roll cage for the last time. We powder coated the spreader plates to be bolt in rather than weld in. That should give us more options later down the road.

The nibbler made short work of the original MK1 tail light holes to make them work with the standard corner lights. Now to finish the painting and begin the final install.

Finished Bits
We spent some time media blasting and powder coating to create some truly beautiful items to go on the exterior of the mini. I’m in love with the front license plate bracket. I think it will look much cleaner than it would if we would had drilled into the body.

Rear Bumper & Valance
After nearly a whole day, we were able to mock up brackets to secure the rear bumper and to hold the rear valance in a location similar to OEM. The valance is completely bolt in so it can be removed for less drag on longer freeway runs at 65+ MPH. But for the day to day, we have added “speed holes” for increased airflow so we don’t end up with the air scoop you’d typically see when installed normally.
