Well after countless hours and I wont say how much money (dont want Mini to kill me) I made the blonde legal today got her inspected and new plates.We even went for a 80 mile ride in the rain just for fun.Shes running pretty good considering that she has been parked since 2008.

 

After the next oil change or 2 I will think about painting her back to the original two tone blonde coloring.We decided that she has been such a good bike that she deserves to go back to oem paint.I replaced all 3 rotors with EBC's 4 new diaphrams,all new exhaust gaskets,all new black plastic around the radios new ebc brake pads,plugs,caps,wires,air filter,fuel filter assembly,new front master cylinder,new extra heavy windshield is on the way,I cant remember what all esle but I have been busy with her at every chance I had and today was the payoff.

 

Almost got a ticket on the way to the shop to get Mini her lunch good thing it was raining or I would have been going faster.I do like the way she handles but the tires are fairly new and not scuffed in yet so I had to take it easy but there is always tomorrow.

Lookin good Jeff,

 

It is a great feeling when something you have spent time on comes through. I have been rebuilding a 74 charger for the last 3 or 4 years. It was in pretty poor shape when I got it. Last week I had it inspected and she passed. Put a set of plates on her and drove it home. Now for the paint. It is hard to find someone to paint a car/

 

congrats

I always feel a little sense of accomplishment when I park in the garage and see that she REALLY needs another good cleaning... those baths I don't mind a bit, she earned it.
