Mini Tattoos

Norm,
I thought this title would get your attention. Dood, your tat rocks! Are there anymore people out there that have Minis tattooed on their body? Lets see them here!

It's not MINI/Mini-specific, but there is a Show Us Your Tats thread in Off Topic, Mercy.

Man that is just the coolest and right on topic! What color will your MK1 be? Have pictures of the car you modeled this tat on? I have never thought about getting a tattoo until I saw this one.

Man that is so cool. I have been looking at your videos and I can hardly wait to see your car when it is done. You do very nice work. I love the silver and black one with the fiberglass front. My vote would be to keep it as original as possible. My next tear down for paint I am going to put the MK1 seats back in. The Mk3 seats are very comfy and I did ALOT of driving in it in the 80s so it was important back then but the more original the better. Maybe I should put the 850 and magic wand tranny back in..... NAH! The push starter in the floor might be cool though.. I remember when I was about 12 we used to sit in the car and push that button with it in gear just to get it to move a little, When I was 15 my dad and I tore out the 850 and rebuilt it and I learned to drive in this car. In the 80s I dropped in a 1098 and 206 head and LCB header, made me lots happier going uphill!

Did you get all the parts? glass? pedals? engine?

When you do your business, do you charge by the project, by the hour? How do you figure up what it will cost to put a Mini in your hands?
