I’ll be very keen to hear how that frame-stiffener install goes.

Wonderful good news. Good luck.

This is what happens. I filled a bit of B’s frame head rot with JB & scrap steel. Should have bit the bullet & had it welded from the get-go. And you should too.

YAHHH!

You could send the calipers back? Mine do not interfere with the wheels; yours shouldn’t either. Tell Cip1 or whoever what your problem is and see if they can make it right.

John, I agree with you that any “band aid” that lasts 30 years has been mis-named.
I have used POR 15, more than a few times on other cars and have always been impressed.  It’s great that one can get it from Walmart now.  I wouldn’t have guessed.. 

The POR 15 kit may be a “band aid”, but it is a darn good one. 

Those spoke wheels look great! What’s the issue with them? I may be interested in them. Give me a call: 910.988.9531 Andy

The Wires look great. Did you do what Roy did–re-drill your hubs for Triumph bolt-on adaptors? Or something fancier?

I will be in Southern California in July for the end of MINI Takes the States. I’m hoping that’s true.

Try swapping the wires on the circuit. The parking lamps should be separate and not as bright as the turn. Maybe they are backwards. LED’s can be weird.

Great job, both of you.

I used this to clean up the rats nest.http://www.painlessperformance.com/webcat/30301Just unplug it to remove the dash.For the wiper and heater switches I used flat four trailer connectors.

Nice job. ????

I bought a $100 roll of marine carpet from the Despot. I was gonna do the car and the boat, but I ended up just doing the car. That one roll could probably do 5 or 6 TDrs.

Glad you saved her, Rick. We’ve all–and I mean all–done something like this at least 73 times. The smart among us don’t do the same bonehead thing twice though!
