    I haven't done crap to my MINI since Nov. No gauge install, no CD install, no detailing, no nothing. The events of 2015/2016 have caught up with me. SOMEBODY...please kick me in the posterior and tell me to get to work. The Dragon is coming...

    The reason it's raining in Vancouver today is because I washed and waxed my MINI the other day. Do you know how hard it is to buff off wax when it's actually too cold outside? My arms still hurt.

    wash and wax while too cold? I think it would be very hard around here right now. My Mini is chilling under it's car cover in the garage, occasionally sipping current from the trickle charger, all while it is -2F outside. Too cold to work on it even in the garage, so all projects are on hold until March.

    You've got less than 100 days!

    And I still have to get your I/C diverter done... It will be in the back of the Porker and we can change it out there.

    Consider your backside punted. Just because it's below freezing is no reason not to work on your car.

    Yesterday, finished getting my engine bay back together, after installing sensors and Aquamist.

    Today, finishing up the last few things in the cockpit, polishing up some things that need it on the exterior, padding the cage, adjusting front ride height, installing trailer wiring harness, and testing Aquamist. Because cooling is important when it's 20 degrees outside.

    Changed the errl... and ordered new mounting bolts for the ignition coil. The rubber washers are apparently shot on the existing ones.

    I tested out my garage heater. It works. No excuse now... Well, maybe I'm lazy...

    I added one of these when I built the shop.

    Reddy Heater, 18, - 2, BTU Infrared Dual-Fuel Wall Heater with Blower, IWH16NLTB at The Home Depot - Mobile

    Can't find a picture at the moment. But I insulated the entire shop and if I use the heater I can keep the shop definitely above freezing.

    Edit: for some reason tapatalk is not liking me anymore. Tried to post this as a link to the heater but it doesn't show in tapa.
