Great looking project. Ive never seen a boot so clean!
Whats it like underneath? Do you intend to keep the miserable 803 engine and fairy wand too?

FAIRY WAND???

The hugely long gear lever on the early cars was/is known as that

gosh, who'd have one of those ghastly things. yuck.
worse still, who would convert a later gearbox to accomodate it, taking the best part of 2 days to do it, just so that the gear change is sloppy.

but "in keeping" with the car (yeah messed that up with the wheels didn't i, idiot!!)

is it lefthand drive or a photo error? and do i see 2 coils on the firewall?

Kim is in Norway so more than likely lefty's and yes it does look like 2 coils, always good to carry a spare lol.

More usually know as the Magic Wand gearlever, certainly in Mini circles - not so many 'Fairies' about these days!
