1975_mini

looked like a newer one with the badging

While north on 95 yesterday around 12:30ish I spotted an GP headed south near mile marker 115:motor:

i have one in the garage that i can let you use to test fit, but there is no way to test fit with out pulling out the entire factory air box. I agree with everyone else as long as it is the same air box it should fit. it is definitely a tight fit and takes up all the space under the hood. If you have added a strut bar you will likely run into fit issues. I am down is fredericksburg so likely a bit out of the way.

that sounds cool, i was excited when i saw the selection of colors pd has out. purple, green, yellow, blue:congrats:

Those pesky gov't computers make it so had to goof off:rofl: I know your pain

Art is supposed the be spontaneous. If you just wing it you will always be suprised:top:

i was planning on catching up on work instead I lost 45 minutes surfing through mindthecurve.com :banghead: thanks for posting, i knowhow my dog feels when she sees a squirrel.

welcome, and look foward to meeting you at an event soon

sounds like a good time, sorry I am going to miss it.

Craig, they look great, thanks for taking the pics.

Burning rubber is always a better smell then burning clutch. Before you know it; it will all be second nature, and till then it gives you a reason to motor in your mini. not that anyone really needs a reason.

Wow the photo looks awesome. :top:

We had a great time; and thank you for the great photos. Unfortunately the sustained 60mph drive home let me diagnose a failing u-joint. So I will be changing it out next weekend I have free to devote to it. :banghead:

Wow, a full week before Ali brought up the name question. I think that is a new record:rofl:

Great looking photos; thank you for taking them Ali :congrats:

looking good

Hope no one put their summer tires on for the photo shoot. Looks like snow chains are a better option

Went for an hour long drive yesterday and all went well so think I am driving up :motor:

welcome, look forward to seeing you around

Debating whether or not to drive watson up or just ride with brandy is ebony. Need to get watson up for a long drive locally before I feel confident driving him up to alexandria. Everything has been running strong but knowing my luck I'll end up on the side of route 1. Any other classics coming out for the photo?

Thanks; this will definately turn into a build process thread. Watson doesn't need any major surgery, but lots of TLC. Fingers crossed; I am going through the suspension today hit grease points hope to find nothing major.

Going no stripes presents it's own issues. When Brandy got her 09 clubby the stripes were cracking so we removed them. not only to the stripes fade but so does the paint. The paint under the stripes is protected by the vinyl stripes, so you will likely have a difference on the hood. I redid them with plasti-dip, easy to peel off if you are not happy, and a can is like 8 bucks. there are a few photos of how it turned out in the plasti-dip thread

Watson was looking really rough on the inside, but a few hours with some sound dampening, and an upholstery kit and he is looking presentable.
