Today I wet sanded my bumper w/ 2000 and will let it sit in the sun to bake /cure. More wet sanding tomorrow and maybe more Chili Red. :smilewinkgrin:
Nice.... I'm always soooo confused about this.... Is it proper to call it.... "Crossed a kilometerage kilometerstone this morning on my way to the office."
Drove to the parts store to dump my oil tank only to find out their oil tank full. Guess I have to learn to call first, this is not the first time this has happened. I did pick up 2 bottles of Techron on sale, sort of liquid walnut blasting.
Finally got Scooter out for a little romp, short city trip, then I decided to do a fast wash and Hydro. So much better, now to go out and detail the wheels, before it hits 90 degrees. It is sunny and 88.3 now. :devil: Don
Installed the Rogue Dragon Eyes I got from the M/A store on my wife's MCS. I was fortunate to get these, as I guess only one or two sets remain!
Wheels done, 90.7 degrees on Wunderground but 92 per Scooter. Geez! Guess I will hold off mowing..... :frown2: Don
On Saturday, finally worked up the nerve to peel off my front bumper (cover) and install my Hella driving lights. I wanted mid-mounted ones (directly in front of the bumper) and their mounts attach to the steel bumper reinforcement / the real bumper. Very solid/sturdy, but a PITA to get to. Lots of fiddly fasteners, peeling away the fender liners, loosening about 1/2 of the fender arches. But we got it done! Pleased with the results...now just need a dark road to try them out! In a drastic state of disassembly. Yes: those are, in fact, the OutMotoring instructions laying on the engine! And, all done:
Looks great & I'm sure you'll agree on your first dark country drive well worth the effort. If it was easy everyone would do it. Well done!
I discussed my MINI for a few minutes with the ringleader of the GNAT kidnappers today. Or is that MINInappers?
