Actually figure I'll just modify the existing boot boards. I have a slight obsession with original parts, a certain Mr. Abri has been rubbing off on me
Where do get the rubber material and how do you attach it to the wood/perspex?

Those rubber edging are easily available and at big hardware outlet , you get them in different lengths and sizes so it would be best to see it then choose
Genkem! works wonders

Thanks man, I'll pay one of them a visit and see what they have in stock.

Thanks for sharing the progress you've made. For some of us who have been into it for a few years it's great to see the enthusiasm of a new mini owner. Keep it up. Your car is looking great! And well done for swapping the steering wheel back to original

Ahh Thanks for the kind words Abri !
Yeah trust me it's been a rough road but a road i'm grateful for taking , as for the steering wheel , it had to happen!
going to try and get the interior as stock as possible
RE: Caspers Journey - Vinay-RS - 02-26-2016
I've seen a few original interiors for sale recently Ridhwaan. I'll have a look for the links.

I've got most of the bits and pieces , just missing the door lock trimmings , and foot pedals which Sean will be making soon so Casper will be changing for the better soon!
RE: Caspers Journey - Miniac - 02-27-2016
The stock pedals have rubber covers on them whereas Sean is making some cast alloy ones, I'd be more tempted to say that you're after a more 70s retro interior or appearance over a stock one as you've made some nice period improvements rather than going all out on original items.

Yep that is probably more of what i'm after!
I am ordering a set of those pedals from Sean with Hopkirk accelerator pedal
