1975_mini Posted February 23, 2013 Report Posted February 23, 2013 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. 1975 Mini 1000, 998cc A+ w/ K&N air filter, 10" Mamba wheels
minime331 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Posted February 24, 2013 Looking good i'm thinking this show be a build process thread unless not much is needed STella- 14' Focus ST Roush CAI, Cobb access port stage1 tune, custom Ptuning 3" exhuast, Levels FMIC, Turbosmart BOV, rally armor mud flaps, more to come.
1975_mini Posted February 24, 2013 Author Report Posted February 24, 2013 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. 1975 Mini 1000, 998cc A+ w/ K&N air filter, 10" Mamba wheels

1975_mini Posted March 11, 2013 Author Report Posted March 11, 2013 It was great meeting Watson at the photo shoot 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: 1975 Mini 1000, 998cc A+ w/ K&N air filter, 10" Mamba wheels

1975_mini Posted May 28, 2013 Author Report Posted May 28, 2013 Watson always seems to turn the most straight forward tast into an adventure, He has been sounding like a eighteen wheeler on the back side of a mountain (i.e. u-joint going bad). So I decided to pull it this morning. After 11 hours, 2 trips the harbor freight, and some colorful language it is out. I included a few photos of my new mini tricycle, and the evil u-joint. Hope to be able to seak of to the auto hobby shop on base and use the press the switch out the the joint in the yokes. 1975 Mini 1000, 998cc A+ w/ K&N air filter, 10" Mamba wheels
