I am still doing some stuff. I just got done modding a original wiper switch to mount a push button washer sprayer button behind the switch. The reason why I did this is because I want to keep the original style switch and not drill holes into the car.


The cylinder heads on these cars are cast aluminum. Since they are aircooled it is a good idea air can flow smoothly thru the heads. In this pic I am started to clean up the slag left behind in the mold process. I cleaned all the air ways out also. I will get some pics up of the finish work later.

Looks like i havent' updated this in a while. i redid my seats last summer. i also added new padding and painted everything.

I just rebuilt the alternator on it since the bearings decided to fly south on me. my kid decided i should painted the alternator with some colors.

I did finish up converting the wiper sprayer to 12v. It was a pain to get it right.

Looks awesome. Such fun to put your own personal stamp on a car. If I have not got the Mini, would have been a bug
