I would love to say I am done! but its a classic mini… thats never seems possible. I can say I am done ish though, not many things left and I was able to take it for a spin so to me that qualifies. I now wait because of some broken things. Before we getContinue reading “Finally got to go for a drive… but now I wait.”

Well I didn’t get to where I wanted to today, but then again I think my goals were a bit too ambitious. I did kick my own ass today but I am only a few steps closer to my first pseudo done benchmark. I say pseudo because there are a few items that won’t getContinue reading “The finish line is so close…”

A lot has happened since the last update, making some pretty good progress. The car is almost fully back together but I have hit a snag… wouldn’t be a mini if there wasn’t one. Last update I got the engine in, I have finished hooking everything up and even fired her up. Started right upContinue reading “Getting so close…”

Bit more progress over the past two days. Didn’t get many pictures this go around but have made a bunch of progress. So lets get into it. Monday I had work so there wasn’t much progress to be made I did get a chance to test the rear portion of the harness and my workContinue reading “It has a heart again….”

Feeling like I knocked out quite a bit this weekend. Still staring at bags of nuts and bolts thinking where do these go? Honestly I am fully expecting to have extra stuff at the end, thats weight savings right? Rather than diving into sound deadening this morning I decided to tackle the E-brake seeing theContinue reading “More progress….”

After a few months I finally have minibox back at home… well mostly… I’ll get the front end and doors next week. Either way I don’t need those to get started with the reassembly. But first before we get there here she is… I was originally going to make some kind of reveal with theContinue reading “Reassembly time has finally come…”

I was hoping my next update would have been of a freshly painted shell. Yet here we are a month later after dropping off the shell and its not done yet. I suppose I need to be more patient… either way I do have some small updates… not many photos of the odds and ends,Continue reading “Things are moving slowly…”

Gonna do this post a little differently… well no one will know it but I figure if I update this little by little I will be able to put down what I have done. This might make the post longer cause it will be done over a few days. Guess we will find out byContinue reading “Odds and ends while I wait…”

No I am not finished with the car… god I wish I was. But I am finished with my share of the body work and boy does it feel good. Been a little while since my last update, I had a punch list… its not completely checked off but thats ok… more on that later..Continue reading “I didn’t think this day would come…”

Well my list got shorter and longer at the same time, not that much longer though. Over the past few days I have been fighting with the half boot, floor, valance, and rear subframe mounts. They all tie in together so you have to play with a lot to make things line up. So whereContinue reading “Boot done”
