looks good dom, those speaker pods from custom consoles? thinkin of gettin me some of them? they easy to fit etc?

[Dom]

Thanks sian B)

Yeah they are from custom consoles.

Reasonably easy to fit. The left one didnt take too much time but the right one took 3 hours. Its down to the location of the holes, removing padding and if like me you had a stand alone fog light... finding a place to relocate it.

Right... well today I went round sammyds to do some tinkering of the mini. Heres a nice picture of us parked next to each other.

[Bungle]

and what were you and sammyd tinkering with ?

was it your own or each others ?

[Dom]

Well, he fitted my sub and amp for my car and sorted out the loose wiring B) Top job!

Here is another pic I took of his fabulous car

[sammyd]

hi gang. the install went well on doms mini. nice crisp sound from the front components and the sub gave it a complete bottom end. fair play and a good setup. any more ICE or wiring probs make sure ya come back to me

[Dom]

It's funny how many people have asked that and changed their minds once they've sat in the car. Absoloutely none at all. There's no restriciton. It's just like being in a car without them gsms said. They do look like they do but they don't.

Firstly saving for the BH2N but also plan to uprate the alternator and a few other small things... haven't quite decided yet.

K and N purchased and fitted, can't really tell the difference of sound but performance is improved.

An update

The sidelights have stopped working and so to have the spotlights, not sure why this is?

I have purchased a voltage and a vacuum gauge from Minis84 and am looking to get an oil pressure gauge at somepoint too. The plan is to fit those either into the centre console or in the seperate dock supplied.

Apart from the above there aren't many things left for me to do with this mini other than enjoying it and maintaining it. I plan to get wider tyres when it comes to the time of buying new ones. The only other thing to sort out is ofcourse rust.

The current places I have rust are on both a panels, both doors, the front part behind the bumper, the front valance, the scuttle, under both headlights and some of the gutter. I think it is mainly surface rust.

Here are some pictures. (I haven't got a picture of the front valance yet, I'll put one up later)

[minipixie]

not the dreddred rust dom.....u gonna try n sort it urself do ya think? what sorta work would it involve?

[miniboo]

those A panels look terminal and the scuttle is on its way to. the doors probably will need reskinning

front panel looks salvageable under the headlights though

sorry for the bad news!!
