    Sell it “as is” and someone will make a project car out of it. All those leaks are normal and are easy to fix. The rad support will need replacing and you can not get new Aero bumpers anymore. I tried and the best you can get is used ones to refurbish.

    I just noticed that after 15+ yrs I have finally had a bulb quit on the MINI. The passenger side front parking light is out......
    I remember reading sometime ago a post that someone had made about a mod the eliminated the funky reflector that split the housing. They went with a different bulb I think, anyone remember that?

    Really 10 bags of carp in the Mistress? You must have really wanted to detail her this week. :)

    Do you reseed at the end of summer each year, just curious?

    Don :)

    Really nice job as they look like brand new money. Should make a big difference night time driving.

    Thanks. I'm pretty amazed at the results. Now I'm wondering how long until the UV coating wears away & I have to repeat this process. :Nailbiting: Maybe I'll lay another coat of the UV stuff on there.

    Welcome back CD. I didn't mean to start another oil thread. LOL ;)

    Since you don't have much brake dust I think someone may have changed those pads out for ceramic ones. The oem pads are made from coal dust, if you had those you'd know.

    @Crashton After the hard time I have given you about 0w 20, you'll be glad to know the my truck takes 0w 20! As I poured all 8qt in it all I could think is "Chuck is behind this" :D

    I'm pretty sure you'd get more protection from extra virgin olive oil. :p Eight quarts wow that's a lot. Bet you can go 20,000 miles before you need to change it again. ;)
