Motor

I finally got around to buying a motor for the mini. It took a while to build up the courage to spend all that money. Ill post a picture soon, the motor is in the back of the truck, which is in our rgarage (barely). Im just guessing, but i think the garage is 20' deep and the truck is 19'8". so i couldnt walk around to snap a photo.

Windshield

Thanks to my brother Andreas Tolman for the pro install of the windshield. I guess since he has done it half a dozen times on his (mother's) mini, he is quite experienced.
His help was appreciated also when i was trying to install the wiper motor and gears. The minimania supplied rubber gaskets were a little to thick so we had to make our own gaskets in order for the studs to stick out enough for the nuts fasten.

Pedals

The pedal assembly has been modified to keep the new master cylinders inside the passenger compartment.

Headliner

The headliner didnt turn out as nice as i wanted, but now that it is installed, i think it is there to stay for a while. Making the headliner was time consuming, but not too difficult.

Stretching the material onto the frames was fun, but applying the glue and finding enough clips to fasten it was a real pain.

After applying a 8in wide strip on dynamat and a wider piece of dynaliner to the roof, Lydia helped me push the headliners into position.

Rear Windows

Lydia and I squeezed the rear windows in (barely). After wrestling with glass and seals for an hour, we discovered bicycle tire levers worked the best. We put the seals on the glass first, then stretched the inside lip of the seal over the ridge on the car using the levers. One of us had to apply inward pressure on the glass also. Im not sure if this was the correct procedure since it seemed to be the opposite of how to install a windshield, but it worked best for us.

Front Subframe

After cutting some of the sheet metal from the side of the engine bay, the subframe fit quite well. Now it needs to be powdercoated.

Tail Lights Installed

Since the rubber seals are no longer manufactured, I had to buy a sheet and make all the seals using a paper template. It took quite some time. Too bad they werent available to buy.
