Well Said 
Most would have not got past fabing up this slick shifter much less the rest of the car . Anonymous negative comments are the nature of the Internet and as you can tell of no real concern .
I'll even throw in a few shots of mine to give them more to work with
Knock yourselves out

Here is mine. Just bought it (for the gas mileage as the FJ was killing me as a daily driver). Always wanted one and finally picked it up in Chicago. The guy had done some work to it (lowered, blacked out, 15% pulley, exhaust) and I added a Dinan strut tower brace. Next is some new kicks for Black Betty and it'll be looking and handling better.

Still getting used to the whole front wheel drive thing. My cars have all been rear wheel (too fun to throttle steer!). So racing this should be a big change over a 3 ser.

Really, thanks for the nice words guys.
I'll just say one (kinda long) thing, and then I want to let this thread continue with more sweet looking Minis. Those "haters" are of a group that most here already know, lead by their masterhater (haaa). Fact is that I personally built just about every single piece of this car. I was the first to really do a Mini of this magnitude, and I have to say that I am quite proud of it. See, I "build" cars, .. I fabricate, I wrench, I weld, I design, mold, paint and I innovate. So, it does NOT bother me when these particular "haters" make negative comments on the car as I know they have not the ability to even consider doing it themselves. There is no reason anyone should like how it looks, but the ones that know, know it goes a LOT deeper then looks. It's function over form when it comes to race cars, unless you have millions. :-)
Just to add, ..the car goes better then it looks. Right out of the shop, no adjustments, the car was the fastest on the track, every time it was on the track. Really, just two clicks on the rear rebound is all it needed! The car is scary fast, though power is not where I put my focus. The chassis is where I was able to do my work and it paid off. Talk about go kart! I truly wish I could offer you all a chance to take this nearly sub 2k lb mini around a track. Amazing. I'd love to see all your faces when you hopped out. Haa
So I do take pride that I was able to accomplish this. Just sayin.. ;-)

If and when you track it, you will have a huge smile on your face. I have never driven such a natural track car. Have a blast.

that being said, here is a test for you. you said you mold, what are the plates of a mold called? did you make the hole mold your self? how many tons did it take to injected?
you weld. great i like welding. what rod does one use to do a fast fill in farris metal. its easy!!! how do you do a vertical up?
so i amuse, you can run a jig mill, knee mill, plunge edm, wirer edm, 3,4,5 axis maching centers, tool grinders, surface grinder, bend break, laser,water jet, more or less take a detail and bring it from paper to hard tooling/part.
well can you!?
fyi i will no if you are blowing smoke i am a tool and die maker for the worlds largest weld comp.

I don't remember challenging anyone, nor saying my car was "faster" then anyone's. What's with you? Oh, that's right, it's crucifying time. Another new Janboy I see. Christ, you guys come and go fast, I can't keep up. !

It's only Revolution Motor Works, Jan, that has a bad habit of challenging everyone to a race, or seems to feel that he needs to be the king of Minis. I think he has challenged most every track mini here to a race, but has yet to ever show up. That's why it's so funny when he does it once again here. Bizarre behavior.

Interesting that Wellzy doesn't even have an pics in his gallery... Does he even have one? IDK. Whatever. Nice ride Onasled. I like it. If anyone wants to challange me or doesn't like my ride, then....well.... my life really doesn't change any. That is the good thing about being an adult.
BTW, I have no doubt yours is faster than mine, and ya know, I'm no less of a man for understanding that.... Again, the great thing about being an grown up I guess.

Sorry for any bad tast. But for me I like it when someone says they can do this I would line them to be able to back it up. Getting Paper forms ones state is no laughing matter. When one clames to do things and cant answere the basci question that puts dought in there ability.
Ie your degree from collage would you like some one going on about it if they did not really have one. Wait I have one of thouse wright state unaversty geological sciences class of 1997.

I must've missed the part where anyone said "I was the best welder in the world and everyone else sucks and isn't qualified". I'm sure more than one person in the world can weld and fab stuff. I'm not one of them, but I just couldn't figure out why you went off.
I do have a degree (actually a couple), but I'm not going to ask someone stat questions if they happen to mention they went to business school. Don't really see the point. You can be proud of your accomplishments [edited by moderator]. Just sayin'
