Raining day and no power due to base maintenance, so I decided to finally do something about the chrome door handles. also hit the mini badge and that red S needed to be orange of coarse.
Sorry for the bad photos the sun is out front.

Has anyone removed the interior beezles (I.e. Around the gauges, vent, door pulls) on a gen 2. I have cracked the nut on the door pulls and the outer most vents. To have to take the whole pod off and slide them out the back. Good thing brandy wasn't home to see the whole side of the dashboard off. So now I am looking at the center vents and speedo. Anyone have a trick so I don't take the rest on the dashboard apart. Thanks all.

Bring a couple of tow straps, we'll have a party! I'll even wash the mud off of Homer before the event so he doesn't drop any "land minds" on the road for you!
Nice!!

I hope we can get Sara's tire replaced in time, if not, we won't be able to attend.
What size are you running I have a spare set in the garage. If you want to borrow one just let me know.
-
60? As in miles per hour! Is this cannonball run? Is the beltway downhill the whole way? I may have to drift with Watson so we can have 80 hp between us. :laugh:
80hp is generous, mine came from the factory with 36hp and a few have likely fallen out along the way.
We can cruise at our own pace.

On my calander as well. I can't confirm due to work but I would like to go. Although you guys will probably lap me a few times. :motor:
We classics bring up the rear in our own group (4 of us last year) as long as you can run 55 to 60 you will keep up no problem.

on the calander and circled and highlighted.:top:

Plasti-dip!!!

What will your MINI not be called then? Make it an unpronouncable symbol like Prince did.
Then we would refer to it as the car formally named Barney

I recently pick up a aeroforce interceptor gauge for brandy. It came in a speedcraven pod. So I was wondering if anyone has pulled off a mounting bracket from there MINI that is now collecting dust and they would like to sell.

And here's my dirty car..
Very nice, does it have chrome mirror caps or is it just the glare.
-
I just got the black line front and rear bezels in
Nice, look forward to seeing them:top:
-
On an R56 they snap on with the molded clips just using a plastic trim bar will pop them off.
Not sure if it is the same on a F56
-
Wait. It JUST went out??? You were having issues in May. What the crap.
That lead to this full failure. Fun fun, came to pick her up today and the new transmission had a bad pump bearing. So now another week to have another one shipping in. Hopefully third times the charm. Ebony is being a real B@&$/!!!

Might have to stop by on our way to DC that day. Is the C&C every sunday? Might have to check it out with watson another day in the near future.

Wow, that came out great!
Thanks, it is a bit of a monet. When standing back it looks great, but if you get up to it you see the inperfections. If I decide to keep it I will redo in paint which sure sharpen the lines.
So when are we PDing a union jack on the Lotus:laugh:
-
WOW! That's awesome. Very nice job laying out the lines. Are you going to use a glossifier on it?
I haven't played with the glossifier, so I need to look at some results. At there moment just staying mat

I'll only go if you stepping down, we need less orange around here! :top:
At least you don't live with one of those orange people.

That should be cool. I got a little heavy handed with the exacto and made a few scratches on the golf so be careful.
I have been considering a full dip JCW style black with a red roof.
I have always liked that color combo. Thanks for the heads up on the exacto, it took a line or two to get the pressure right. I am happy with the way it turned out for a first try. I got a little bleeding on a few tape lines, the humidity in the garage apparently made the tape not bond fully in places.
Here is the gallery of the process for those interested

Nope all the orange is paint. I had issues with the PD orange bleaching out in the sun.
So it's permanent and brandy better like it
