Euro tag and holder came in, slapped er on. Turned out ok, I wish previous owner woulda n'er put f'n screws in the front bumper in the first place. Also changed the cell phone holder to a one size fit's all sorta clip, in place of the phone case deal-eo. Finally ordered a new strut and mount for the front passanger that's been clunking for months! Gotta get her purdy for the Dragon

 

Put on the rear plate holder and put my plate on. Also i think they me the wrong bushings. Lower control arm should not be the size of a baseball right? What they sent me is labeled "Front wishbone rear bush" and is literally the size of a baseball. But my receipt says control arm bushing.

Man, another day of wrenching on MINIs.

Mowed the grass, swapped non-leather seats into the wife's car, which graduated to me doing random odd stuff on the R53 until my dent guy showed up around 4-5 PM.

Popped the dents out of the R53, then my buddy decided to head over... and we decided to do brakes on his R53. His front pads were at 1mm, so we just put the rotors and pads I took off of my R53 onto his. Ran into a small snag with a stripped caliper retaining bolt, but we got 'er dun.



Just wrapped up, cleaned up the garage and all.

Tomorrow my Star Specs show up.

 

motor and trans mounts!

 

Put a new one O these in last night. So shiny Still have a clunking though. I'm thinking I'll have to do the driver side as well, dammit.

 

Dusted mine in the garage today.

 

Local shop ordered 75w90 MT oil instead of 75w80 like i asked. Can i still use it?

Stuck on some tire letters tonight,it turned out ok. Wish they woulda came in one piece sections, next time I gotta read that fine print

 

Looking good Qik! I was running lettered tires before they were cool again when I had my R50... Thinking of doing it again when I get a new set for the Rat. [emoji2]

I've always liked white wall's, lettered and striped! I had them on my 80' Z28 and 68'C10. Almost got the nascar yellow letter slicks for the Z(was a phase) but those ******* are f'n esspensive. Also, For a few years I was rocking a black 1990 Vandura panel van, I had some REAL Crager S/S's(deep dish in the rear), not that new ugly thing they're trying to pass off as S/S's.
You should put some on the Rat. A buddy of mine is getting CORNER WHORE lettering for his.. Can't wait to see what you get :cornut:

 

My MINI world has come tumbling down. :frown2: 2 of the 3 are down :cryin:
