I managed to do my sunvisors and rearview mirrors this weekend.
the visors will look much better after I redo the rooflining.

Nice! How did you go about the hinges on the sunvisors?

RE: My mini's - Grimz - 10-18-2016

Thanks Jared,

I used a piece of sheet metal bent it over a tread rod then used the stock hinges, drilled holes through them and used the spikes to hold the flexiglass.

Really loving the look of the perspex sunvisors. Very cool design.

RE: My mini's - Grimz - 10-18-2016

Cool. What thickness is the sheet metal?

It was about 1mm thick so was'nt hard to bend and easy to drill through.

Some update on the pickup.
Been on 2 weeks leave so had a chance to finally put some quality time on the bakkie.
I managed to finish the sound deadening and roof lining, took out the cracked rear glass.
fitted rear taillights.Got the car started and running smoothly and pics below of some body work done.
