    Today I replaced the manual top latching mechanism with the new OEM part that substitutes on Roadsters with the semi-automatic top. This has been billed as a cure for the common folded top rattle issue. We shall see...

    If anyone else wants to give this a try, I put together a little photo DIY of the process:

    Thanks for bump guys! I'm Aaron, the owner of the BRG R53 for sale; you don't happen to know any interested parties do you? I'm looking to move into something larger, I wish I had room to keep the Cooper :(.

    Installed angel eyes DRLs and mud flaps on the Explorer this weekend. Yeah, not a Mini/MINI but I figured since I'll be using it to tow the '77 on its trailer I should at least get some partial credit here.

    Next up for the classic is a boot board with brackets. Sorry, not terribly sexy but I'll take a pic when done. :cool:

    Feeling the need to tidy up the boot in the '77 and capture a bit more usable space, also protect the battery and keep the spare from flopping around. Here is the before pic:

    Carpeted boot board was a DIY; the mounting brackets from Newton Commercial Classics in the UK...

    The finished product. Okay, it's just a boot...but sure to add at least 5 bhp. :wink:
