Boot liner finished off over yesterday evening and this morning. Really happy with how it's turned out, especially the cheapo temu cross-stitched vinyl.



Had forgotten about the need to relocate the battery isolator switch, but thankfully it looks ok where I placed it.

And a cheeky photo of the rear end now with the NOS mudflaps....



Ready for cars and coffee in the morning...

Took it out for a spin Saturday evening, drove nicely, then got to test out the new spotlamps on the way home and quiet impressed with the extra visibility!

 

They are a bit shaky when the road is bumpy, so may need to look at stabilising them against the grille or adding an additonal support back to the grille opening on the front panel.

 

I forgot to reattach the levers to the new door handles, so was unable to lock the car! Thankfully I got them without needing to remove the door card fully.

 

Then on Sunday morning I gave it a quick wash before heading in for Cars & Coffee, a few water leaks still getting into the cabin from under the dash, plus annoyingly have one on the drivers side quarter window, not much water but still something else to sort out.

If you have more photos of who you built the boot lid of be interested to see them. Looking at making mine a bit more user friendly but fathom how

A great warm day here, great to get out in the mini!

130km round trip in total, a bit noisier in the cabin now with the opening rear windows, but much more comfortable for the kids in the back now...
