So glad I just spent a few hours developing a run route from Kohl's:banghead: I will keep an eye out for clarification that it is closed, but I am guessing either way it is not the place to be next sunday. I will probably find a good starting point in the general area, so I don't have to scrap the whole route. I will post as a separate event with the tentative route, in a few.

I will try to find a good route. We will come down Joplin.

Hey all, just wanted to reach out and see if anyone want to join Rey, Jessie, Brandy, and I. There are still spots available in our wave. We are signed up for the yellow wave 2 miler starting at 11am. The more the merrier, come on out!!! If you are extra motivated there is the full 6 mile course. Our house is only a mile from the start so you can part at the house and use our shower, so no worries of your MINI getting dirty. Hope to see you there, and feel free to ping me if you have any questions.

We all know time travel is possible at 88mph.

That's a new one for me. Maybe your MINI thinks you are always late and is trying to help

The first time a crawled under the suspension it was a what the hell moment rubber cones and trumpets. I tell people to thing motorcycle swing arm when describing the rear suspension. Those rubber cone mean you will knock your fillings loose on some of the roads around here. (Telegraph)

Well after a few evenings of degreasing, stripping, and going through the mechanics of the suspension I painted everything yesterday, and should get it reassembled this weekend. Here are a few before and afters: Subframe degreased and stripped Painted subframe One aluminum trumpet stripped and the other still covered in under coating. Also one of the swing arms unstripped in the background. Finished swing arms Now on to the body work

German, they were painted silver when I bought the car. I have never seen the actual metal, but guessing rashed up pretty bad otherwise why paint them silver. I guess I need to strip them and go from there. -

Thanks for the feedback. -
Separated the subframe from the body today, hope to get it fully stripped down and ready from paint by the end of the week. You can see the spare tire area in the trunk pan needs a patch, the rest is only surface rust that the grinding wheel will make short work of. A little soak and the bolts broke lose fairly easily, with a hand from Brandy. she is an expert at jack stand placement and grabbing tools. Especially when I break the subframe loose from the body and forget the disconnect the battery cable and I am stuck holding it will the cutting wheel is on the other side of the garage. I will be stripping the subframe down, not sure if I am going to leave the brake system might plum to the receiver. I know it would be over kill but its already there why not use it:questionmark:
