Come on Paul, you should know the drill by now... Any time changes are made to the ride height, we need a side profile shot with the hood closed.
Windshield installer yesterday: "This is the shortest car I've ever worked on." "Does this thing have NOS?"
Paul, this car is truly one of the coolest project builds I've ever had the pleasure to follow. I'm sure I'm not alone in growing anticipation of the final results photo shoot. Hope to see it first hand one day!
But like all car projects, it'll never be truly done, which is kind of the beauty of it. It'll get to the point where improvements and mods will be fewer and farther between, but there'll always be something. I've given up thinking my car will ever be completely finished, you just have to accept that there is always something else you want to do to it.
Yea this is very cool. I have driven my wife up the wall showing her the project as you posted. Excellent job!! Now you need to go learn a thing or two about oil filters
I am just blown away by this build. the attention to detail and how quick and effortless you make it all seem. It obviously is alot of work and you have pulled it together amazingly.
This morning, got the windshield trim and wipers back on. Good to go. One thing I noticed, is that something about the lines on this car make the windshield look more sloped (to me) than what I remember the old car looking like. I know it isn't, just a visual thing. Spent the rest of the day organizing the garage, making space to move over stuff from the OTHER garage, so I can sort all that. First, hung up my 12 wheel dollies. Because that's how many it takes when you have three non-running MINIs to push around. While standing on the 8ft ladder, I happened to glance down and realized this was a pretty cool view. So I took a pic. While sorting things out, I decided to put my rubber mats and my GP mats in the car, on top of the diamond plate mats. Just to get them out of the way. First time I've had the GP mats in the car. Sexy. Found another treasure that Stephen at eMINIparts.com had included in a parts box, at some point. Finally, an open space... Of course, it had to go somewhere... But at least all the stuff in those boxes is sorted and ready to do something with, now. This week, when I'm not working, I may play around with prototyping a tonneau cover for the rear... stay tuned...
Front could be a little lowerer... Top shots from the rear are always a good view. (Standing on the roof of the garage)
I just realized how noticeable the added caster is, in this pic. Yummy caster goodness. Well, probably not really. Since the hub is in the same place. But it LOOKS farther forward...
Sexy! Almost done with this iteration, best of warm roads and great track time ahead. Remember it has 4 wheels and does not fly well. :fingerscrossed: Nice job. Don
I'm making my first pass on this thread. Just read post #648. I'm speechless right now... :eek6::frown2::frown5::cryin:
