Been driving the car as much as possible lately and it has been great. Except for a couple things but we are getting there. 2nd gear is still an issue, I think I have accepted the fact that a gear box may be in my near future but for now I will rock it untilContinue reading “Happy New Year!… more updates”

I have been procrastinating on finishing the back seat area, the buckets block it and I don’t sit back there nor will anyone ever lol. Got a few updates, some concerns, but overall good things for this update. So I was able to get my alignment done, plus side the guy doing the alignment toldContinue reading “Still have some small things but…”

I don’t think there is such a thing as done with a classic mini. If Minibox has taught me anything its that there is always something that needs to be addressed, or you just live with it. After having what felt like rapid posts getting the car back together this one comes after a littleContinue reading “Done… ish”

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…”
