Brilliant haha

[micraminiman]

Just sat down and read yer full story. Yer doing it well, should be having fun soon man!

 

 My old yellow Mini had black fur top and bottom dash rail covers, dashboard, door cards, center console, rear shelf, and the crowning glory, a full black fur roof lining, glued to the inside of the car with gallons of Evostick! (the application of which is a whole other story! )

I drove it over a Winter once when I had no other car, and the black fur drove me nuts. It used to stick to the condensation on the inside of the windows, and would be that bad I was literally coughing up furballs like the cat! lol

My latest Mini hasnt had a decision on the interior as yet, but the Wife warns me against fur of any kind....

All e best.

Drive shafts



Just waiting on them to be welded now lol

[EccentricToast]

Did you ever get the wiper mod working as I'm thinking of doing something similar.

[thelegg]

Yep works perfect just need to make sure you weld it together in the right position otherwise the wiper will go down into the engine bay instead of up the screen haha which I learnt the hard way, any info you want feel free to ask :)

So not sure how quickly updates will be coming at the moment because me and my beautiful girlfriend have decided to move in together, on the plus side the house is located right next to where my mini is stored the slight down side is the house hasn't been lived in for 20 years and is stuck in the 80s haha
